Created in 1994, The Heritage Association’s first premises were in the former factory of Marshall’s before finding its current home at the former Old Post Office and telephone exchange building which was built in 1904 and opened in 1905. Cliff Bradley & Sons leased the Old Post Office building to the Association from 2008 to present on a peppercorn rent. The Heritage Centre’s ground floor exhibition room was officially opened to the general public in 2012. The Heritage Centre’s new and enhanced permanent exhibitions based on the ground and 1st floor were officially opened by Gainsborough born actress Julia Deakin at the grand re-opening weekend in September 2016.
