The county museum at Winding House, New Tredegar. Wales, is to undergo a £2.5m redevelopment.

The revamp is being funded by Caerphilly County Borough Council and EU Objective 1 funding, with the aim to promoting the heritage of the wider area.

As part of the work, the borough council has appointed Imagemakers Design and Consulting to design a £200,000, multi-sensory exhibition for the new county museum.

The museum is ‘wrapped around’ the last remaining structure at the once thriving Elliot Colliery which still houses the pit's steam winding engine.

The planned exhibitions explore the story of the county borough of Caerphilly, including the impact the Romans had on the area, and the workings of a colliery.
