BOSSES at historic Conisbrough Castle have their fingers crossed for a cash injection of more than £1m.

“If everything goes to plan the new improvements should be complete and ready to view by summer 2013.
“We are hoping to get funding of around £900,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund and both ourselves and Doncaster Council would find the remaining amount.”
