Williamson’s Tunnels and the heritage centre were obviously a massive part/influence for our Flux series of Doctor Who. Would be amazing if the Who community shared this appeal widely and/or were able to help before this looming deadline. See below and please RT!
If you've ever marvelled at the vaulted Victorian subterranea of Liverpool's Williamson tunnels you have The Heritage Centre to thank. Unfortunately, it will be closing for good on June 1st if they can't raise £12k.
Here's how you can help

So, to recap: a major publisher is releasing a nature writing book with (inaccurate) AI-created ‘woodcut’ artwork - that’s where we’re at?
And even sadder is that it’s a big author - so they have the budget, but are still choosing not to give it to an illustrator.
It’s just all so disappointing.

A MASSIVE speaker-smashing 1979 Afro-disco-not-disco LP.
Feat. Wally Badarou & Sauveur Mallia, it's a favourite of Harvey, Antal, Young Marco and every great DJ to ever play deep records.
