From the Councillor Phil Bateman Archives-First published in April 2006 –

We are very lucky to have been successful in getting resources to protect and explain about this important heritage site in our community.
The Campaign for Ashmore Park Enterprise managed to get £50,000 from Heritage Lottery funding to promote this site.There are information boards that are erected and the local library that stands alongside the site has interpretation and other display items in the Library. This makes it a place for local schools to visit and learn about the history of the area.
I still think that we can make much more of this important heritage site, that can be translated into a little more economic growth for the commercial advantage of the shopping parade. History is a very valuable commodity in this day and age.
