Info

The Kent History and Library Centre is a purpose-built headquarters in James Whatman Way, Maidstone, that opened on April 23, 2012. It has been designed to incorporate under one roof the former Centre for Kentish Studies and the town's former Central Library.
In August 2013 a sculpture by Antony Gormley entitled "Two Stones" was installed adjacent to the building. The sculpture had originally been commissioned by Kent County Council in the 1970s from Gormley, then a newly graduated art student of the Maidstone College of Art, for a new development in Ashford but had been removed following vandalism.
