Haddington’s John Gray Centre opens its doors

Haddington’s John Gray Centre opens its doors
The John Gray Centre, Haddington, has opened its doors to the public for the first time following the £7m conversion of a former pub, bank, hotel and grain store by East Lothian Council.

Designed by Gray Marshall Associates and David Narro Associates the property integrates its disparate progenitors via a dramatic curved glass atrium.

Within this space a new community centre has been fashioned, from which visitors and locals can delve into a rich resource of heritage resources, including images and maps, many of which have lain unseen for years in storage.

The new centre houses a library, history centre, museum, archives and exhibition space.
