The Centre of the Earth

The Earth Centre was a Millennium Commission Lottery Project which failed not long after opening. It was designed to show us how to lead a sustainable lifestyle in a fun and interactive way. One of the incentives to visit was if anyone arrived by public transport they would be allowed free admission. Initiatives like this are all well and good but run the risk of sending a message to anyone arriving by car that they are not welcome. And then it closed. The land is now for sale.
