Cheshire Archives and Local Studies Relocation
« on: Sunday 13 April 14 15:11 BST (UK) »
Duke Street Premises no longer suitable therefore possible relocation. Have your say on where they will be kept in the following consultation  survey. Personally I hope they stay in Chester as I often visit the town whereas I would never have any reason to visit the other locations.

Oohhhh!   If it moved to Winsford, I'd be going back to school  ;D  ;D  I lived in Little Budworth, and went to Verdin Grammar School back in the 1950's.  I wonder whether they've managed to keep the whole of the High Street free from roadworks at any one time.  For the 6 years I attended the school I can never remember the street being free from "holes"!!

However, I do hope that they don't move the Archives there, or any of the other venues outside Chester.

Unfortunately my research doesn't take me back to Cheshire, otherwise I would certainly be joining in the consultation survey.

Good luck!
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

I used to visit a lot but find it a bit far to drive now, so I filled in the questionnaire and said I'd be happier with Crewe, Winsford or Midldewich, any of which would be nearer, claytonbradley

I have used these resources and found them to be excellent and very helpful and being in Chester very easy to get to as not too far to travel for me - it would be a shame if they were moved out of the city.
