About this Event

Come and visit Historic England’s archive at the Engine House in Swindon! We are the public Archive at Historic England and we are located in the Engine House, which was built in the 1840s and was formerly the Great Western Railway’s Chief Mechanical Engineers and Drawing Office. We hold a public archive of architectural and archaeological records and hold over 12 million historic photographs, plans, drawings, reports, records and publications covering England's archaeology, architecture, social and local history.

We are opening up our Engine House and Archive here at Historic England for Heritage Open Days on Saturday 9th September.

We are hosting tours of The Engine House and Archive that you can sign up to attend. We have four slots throughout the day which you can sign up to.

Please meet in the reception area of the building, where you will then be taken on the tour. This will involve a fair bit of walking (1km approximately) so please take that into consideration when booking!

Unfortunately we do not have parking facilities for the general public, so we would encourage you to get to the site via other means or use the Swindon Outlet car park (however there is a charge for this).

We do have limited access to blue badge parking if needed. If you would like this, please contact Aseye (Engagement and Volunteering Officer) at [email protected]

If you have accessibility requirements and you would like to participate on the tour please do contact the above e-mail address in advance so that we can put the necessary measures in place.
