Funding given to improve access to heritage sitespublished at 09:23 British Summer Time 5 August 2021
Several of the UK's most popular heritage sites have been granted a total of more than £14m in National Lottery funding to help them improve access for disabled people.
The cash will also be used to help more people from a diverse range of backgrounds connect with the UK's monuments, the National Lottery Heritage Fund says.
Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Archives received £3.96m to develop a new history centre and to work with local communities to help them engage with the area's past.
Learning resources will be tailored to young people, people with early onset dementia and also people from eastern European and black and other minority ethnic communities, the heritage Fund says.
