A MAJOR expansion of one of Heywood’s main tourist attractions has received a substantial boost – and it is likely to be the first step in a plan to see it play an even bigger role in the town.

The Pioneer Wagon Shed and Museum has received funding through the same federal government program that has in the past week seen substantial upgrades for Hanlon Park in Portland and a rail trail project in Dartmoor.
