About
The Heritage Centre is open to the general public every Saturday, 10am - 4pm (last entry 3.45pm). Exhibitions include photos, business documents, objects (such as the only surviving piece from the bombing of the John Lewis Oxford Street store during the Second World War) and back issues of the UK’s longest-standing internal magazine - the Gazette - which celebrated its centenary in 2018. The gallery contains a vast 30,000 piece textile collection dating back to 1799, which even includes dust sheets from a Royal residence and fabric supplied for the Titanic.
