They gave money too.<\/p>\n “It is great to see so much enthusiasm from so many right across the country. The money has gone where it was needed and where it will do great good.”<\/p>\n The awards are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n Charity<\/strong><\/p>\n The Restoration Fund was set up as an independent registered charity to distribute the money raised by the viewer vote-line accompanying the BBC Two programmes Restoration and Restoration Village.<\/p>\n The three series of the programmes raised \u00a31.6million.<\/p>\n Previous winners of Restoration Fund funding were the Grade II* Listed Old Grammar School and the nearby Saracens Head in Birmingham (Restoration series two, 2004) and the Grade II* Listed Victoria Baths in Manchester (Restoration series one, 2003).<\/p>\n Video Nation<\/a> – <\/strong>Marion Muir has made this film about life on North Ronaldsay.<\/p>\n Northern Lighthouse Board <\/a>– Historical information about lighthouse building including the Stevensons<\/p>\n Thanks to Susanne Carter<\/a> for allowing us to use these images.
