Designing a new home for Cheshire’s community memory: the client and architect recount their experiences of this project.

Join us for a talk by Paul Newman, Archives and Local Studies Manager at Cheshire Archives, and Tim Brown from Ellis Williams Architects. They will share insights into the design of the new Cheshire Archives centres in Hoole and Crewe.
