Summary
One of sixteen Restoration Record Books created by Sheila Pettit, former Historic Buildings Representative for the National Trust. A scrapbook with green fabric covers and black pages, with layers of protections between pages. The book contains magazine articles and cuttings from various newspapers relating to the opening of Cragside, copies of the speeches given at the opening by HRH the Duke of Gloucester and the Director of the National Trust, a list of attendees of the opening, a copy of the original guide book and black and white photographs of the Duke of Gloucester making his speech and planting a tree. There is also an interesting newspaper article about Cragside, surrounding it, adverts for companies which worked on the restoration; “we were pleased to have carried out the furniture restoration in Cragside Hall”.
