The First Light at Jodrell Bank project is set to receive £12.1m from The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), with a further £4m coming from the Government.
The project will create a spectacular new building that will promote and celebrate Jodrell Bank’s world-leading place in the history of astronomy, and a pioneering chapter in British scientific and cultural history. In recognition of the international significance of its science heritage, Jodrell Bank was nominated by DCMS for UNESCO World Heritage Site inscription in January 2018.
