Anyone who has passed the former Redruth Brewery site recently will have seen that work is getting underway on the Kresen Kernow project to build a new archive centre for Cornwall.

The project team and architects have also been busy working behind the scenes to produce outline building plans and a draft programme of events and activities and they want to hear your thoughts on them.

If you’re interested in seeing how the plans are progressing, or want to share your thoughts, please drop-in to one of the following sessions:

• Monday, October 27, at Cornwall Record Office, Truro, TR1 3AY

• Tuesday, October 28, at the Cornish Studies Library, Redruth, TR15 2AT

• Tuesday, November 4 at Callington Town Hall, PL17 7BD

• Thursday, November 6, at Helston Museum, TR13 8TH.

The events all run from 2:30pm-7:30pm and staff will be on hand to provide more information and hear your thoughts on the plans.

Cabinet member for economy and culture Julian German, who alongside the Lottery is funding the project, said: “Developing a new archive centre to house Cornwall’s important records is a really exciting project for the whole of Cornwall. We want to hear from residents about how we can best engage to ensure a really fantastic archive and local studies centre are created.”

If you are unable to attend the events, you can find out more and comment via the Kresen Kernow web pages www.cornwall.gov.uk/kresenkernow, or the Facebook page, www.facebook.com/kresenkernow.
