Help us to save The Grain Tower

The Grain Tower, which has been decommissioned as a military building in 1956, remains derelict and unused till today. It’s been privately owned since 2005 but none of the owners did anything with this historically important building to bring it back to its previous glory.

Our aim is to restore it and made it available to general public as an observatory of diverse, local wetland bird population. Its tower, with several levels, will be perfect for both scientific and pleasure observation.

We strongly believe places like The Grain Tower should serve general public free of charge. Enough of these places have been turned into luxurious hotels which with its prices remain inaccessible to majority of us.

It is a designated Grade II listed building (from 1986) as well as a part of Scheduled Monument (nationally important historic building) – our aim will be to keep it accessible to general public and serve it in manner which will help preserving our flora and fauna.

There is a possibility of The Grain Tower being sold to the next owner before we will finish our collection (it is available to buy and we have to bear that in mind) – in such a case we will short-list 4 equally important and neglected sites and ask all the participants to vote for their choice.

What we need?

To buy and restore a building like this will not be easy and cheap. To keep a restoration in line with its requirements of the Great Listed building we will need at least £2,000,000. Additionally, this money will allow us set a base on shore, which will help us in later stage to maintain the tower.
