Knaresborough Museum plan given go-ahead
Plans have been approved to convert a former girls school in Knaresborough into a museum.
Based at the old National Girls School in Castle Yard, the town museum looks set to open next year.
Harrogate Borough Council backed proposals by Knaresborough Museum Association to convert the former school into the facility.
It will see the dance hall changed to a museum as well as alterations to the interior, a new entrance, disabled toilets and a new ramp.
In a post on its Facebook page, the museum said:

Funded by public donations and grants, it will include eight exhibition zones covering periods of history from the Jurassic age to the world wars.
