From the Leigh Journal: "THE archive services at Leigh Town Hall will close next Monday as part of the building's refurbishment. "The Wigan Archives and Local Studies' staff and public search room will move to its temporary home at Leigh Library from November 5 until the town hall building work is completed by the scheduled date of spring 2020. "A limited service will be available at the Museum of Wigan Life until the end of October. "Opening hours will remain the same at the archives services while it is based at Leigh Library but there will be limited access to the collections." <snip> "There will also be a two-year temporary exhibition programme with its content shaped by community contributions and working in partnership with the Museum of Wigan Life." Request access to archived documents by contacting 01942 404430. For more information about the service and access arrangements visit wigan.gov.uk/archives.
