  Preparing the magazines for transport. Thank you to everyone that has donated to our fundraiser. Along with this fundraiser, a private donation, Calne Area Board funding, and a legacy left to the Heritage Centre in a will some years ago, we now have the full funding. With that in mind, I have been preparing the magazines for collection. Thank you all again. I am very much looking forward to sharing the results. Best wishes to you all, Tim

                    This exhibition is available to view for free each Wednesday - Saturday between 10am - 4pm until 23 April 2022.   Look forward to seeing you!

  C&T Harris Fundraising request We'd very much like to digitise the thirteen volumes that make up the C&T Harris Magazine. A magazine was published monthly between January 1927 and June 1940. When digitised, we'd be in a position to make the content available to all and to be able to provide even better quality answers to your Calne and Harris-related questions. But what insights do the magazines provide? The contents include: *Information from partners all over England, such as Dunmow, Highbridge, Chippenham (Wiltshire), Eastleigh, Leeds, Redruth, Totnes, and others *An entry in every magazine from Sir John Bodinnar, the managing director *Announcements, some including photographs, of new employees, retirements, births, marriages, and deaths. *Plus a wealth of local history information for Calne and the area, including the floods Calne experienced. Every donation, no matter its size, will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
