Adrian Phillips, in the book The Warminster Trail, compiled for the Warminster Festival 1989, and published by Aris & Phillips Ltd., wrote:
Behind [the Three Horse Shoes Mall] in the extensive car parks which the Council has very sensibly kept free, is the new Library and Museum building designed by the County Architect and opened in 1982.
. . . . it is well worth a visit because it houses both the town Tourist Information [Centre] (Open Mon-Sat except Wed, 10 am – 5 pm.), The Library and the Dewey Museum (Open Mon-Sat 10 am – 5 pm except Wed closed all day, Thurs & Fri 8 pm, Sat 4 pm.
The Museum houses a permanent and rotating display of Warminster history. During June 1989 a special display of “Celebrations of the Past” will be put on by the Warminster History Society which administers the Museum, to celebrate the Warminster Festival 1989.
