East Park Wolverhampton given £981,000 lottery grant
Mine shafts under a Victorian park in the West Midlands will be stabilised using a lottery grant.
The project in East Park, Wolverhampton, has received £981,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The work will also see historic buildings in the park restored and the recreational facilities improved.
Councillor Elias Mattu, from Wolverhampton City Council, said: "What we have got planned will help restore the park to its former glory."
The buildings that will be refurbished include the bandstand, boathouses and the clock tower.
The 18-hectare park's recreational facilities and woodland areas will also be improved.
East Park was opened in 1896.
