A brief Backstory

Our 10 miles of unique archive collections and resources offer a one-stop destination for those wanting to find out about the county’s people and places.  A large, on-site community garden provides a tranquil oasis for all to enjoy and showcases heritage-inspired pieces of artwork.   

Our main building has been a familiar landmark in Kingsholm since starting life as a school in the 1920s. The site previously housed Alvin Street ironworks, and Wheeler’s Nursery which supplied fruit trees to Queen Victoria.
