Our regular users will know that in a previous entry we posted a German aerial photograph with plans to target the Westinghouse site in Chippenham during WWII. For those of you who are interested, one of our viewers has been able to translate the text for us:

Hello - my name is Rachel and I am the Administrator for Heritage Services. When the History Centre was opened we were set the target of attracting 20,000 visitors in 2008/9. This challenging target was based on previous visitor numbers to the various Heritage Services, previously in different locations around the county.
Folk Arts Launch
We are delighted to report that not only did we reach the target, we exceeded it with 20,206 visitors recorded from April 1 2008 - March 31 2009. This is a fantastic achievement and offers an opportunity to share some details of our success.
