白金汉宫耗资3.7亿英镑、历时十年的大规模修缮工程正在进行中,施工人员在地板下和建筑夹层中发现了大量尘封的历史物品,为宫廷员工的日常生活留下了珍贵记录1。这些发现包括1949年4月14日皇家职员社交俱乐部舞蹈会门票(标价6便士)、1957年的Littlewoods赌池单、1889年的剧院演出清单、1966年的《每日快报》报纸,以及1977年银禧庆典外交宴会的指示文件1。
修缮工程自2017年启动,预计明年完成,期间也识别并更换了约2公里长的危险老旧橡胶电缆1。这些偶然发现的物品为了解宫廷内部员工的工作和休闲生活提供了独特的视窗1。
During a decade-long restoration project at Buckingham Palace, workers have discovered a trove of historical artifacts hidden beneath floorboards and within the building's structural cavities, offering a rare glimpse into the daily lives of palace employees across several generations. 1 The restoration, which began in 2017 and is expected to be completed next year, has cost £370 million and has yielded items spanning from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, including a dance ticket from the Royal Staff Social Club dated April 14, 1949 priced at sixpence, a Littlewoods betting slip from 1957, a 1966 Daily Express newspaper, a theatre playbill from 1889, and seating instructions for a 1977 Silver Jubilee diplomatic dinner. 1
Beyond these cultural and social artifacts, the restoration project has also addressed critical infrastructure safety concerns. 1 Workers identified and replaced approximately 1.2 miles of deteriorated Vulcanised Indian Rubber electrical cabling that posed a hazard, underscoring the extent of the palace's aging infrastructure addressed during the comprehensive renovation. 1
