A UNIQUE history of Devon life dating back 900 years could soon have a new home.

The Heritage Lottery Fund and Devon County Council are working together towards building 'state-of-the-art' facilities at Great Moor House on the Sowton Industrial Estate next to the new M5 junction.

The lottery could eventually provide almost

£3-million towards the project.

An announcement is expected by the end of this year and, if successful, work could start soon after.
