The organ was originally commissioned by the Council in 1956 from Harrison & Harrison to design, build, and install it (bespoke design). The organ needs to be disassembled, removed and stored safely in order to protect it adequately during the current refurbishment works at the Hall. As the
original manufacturer and installer, Harrison and Harrison have the original drawings and expertise required to reassemble and recommission the instrument.
