AN EXHIBITION revealing plans for the new Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office is to go on show in Chippenham.

The exhibition will be at Chippenham Library from September 1 until September 26.

The plans show what the new record office and heritage centre in Cocklebury Road, Chippenham will look like and give details of the six heritage services that will be available to the public.

The facility will combine a record office with a wide range of other heritage services on one site. As well as the record office, the new building will house the local studies library, the archaeology service, the museums and conservation services, and the Wiltshire Buildings Record.

The new record office and heritage centre will ensure that Wiltshire and Swindon's archives remain in the county, and that they are stored in the best possible conditions.
