State-of-the-art building housing historic records scheduled to be open next summer

Good progress being made on archive centre

THE county's archives offer is being completely transformed and steelwork is going up in Crewe and Chester as progress ramps up.

Two new state-of-the-art archive centres one in Crewe and one in Chester will house records of the development of the historic county and its communities from the Middle Ages to the present day. These two buildings will replace the Cheshire Record Office in Chester.

Councillor Michael Gorman, chair of Cheshire East Council's economy and growth committee, said: "It is great to see the way that the construction is going here in Crewe and I know that it's moving very positively in Chester as well.

"Cheshire Archives Crewe and Cheshire Archives Chester will be the new homes for this superb collection.

"I was very proud to be at the event, where I was able to sign some steelwork which will be a permanent part of this remarkable building, which I know will be hugely appreciated by everyone, no matter where they live in the county.

"Of course, none of this could be achieved without the support of our funders, The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Wolfson Foundation, whose vital support is allowing this exciting project to be delivered."

Cheshire Archives Crewe is being built close to the Lifestyle Centre and Memorial Square in the town centre. Construction company Kier started on site earlier this year.
