The historic building is being renovated as a flagship Centre of Excellence for Yorkshire Water’s training academy. Bradford College students on the City & Guilds Technical Certificate in Carpentry are enhancing their skills by gaining work experience at the site and producing raised planters for a new walled garden.
“There is no better experience for our students than working on a real project like this, fabricating on-site and working to real specifications,” said James Haigh, technical qualification co-ordinator and lecturer in carpentry and joinery at Bradford College.
