The Heritage Collection

Please note that due to Covid-19 safety measures, the Heritage Collection is currently not on display.

The Lightbox Heritage Collection is comprised of thousands of fascinating historical objects, many of which have local significance to Woking. This collection was used to create our permanent museum Woking's Story and our three regularly changing displays.

For more information about the Heritage Collection please contact our Heritage Committee by emailing [email protected].
