The Wiltshire Times and its sister paper the Wiltshire Gazette & Herald share offices at the White Horse Business Park in North Bradley, on the outskirts of Trowbridge. In 2019 they moved from 15 Duke Street in the town centre, which had been home to a newspaper office for more than 170 years.[2]

Campaigns

The Wiltshire Times often has special "campaigns" that appear in the newspaper, such as a campaign to reduce the number of potholes in Wiltshire[3] and a campaign to save jobs at a Bowyers factory in Trowbridge.[4] The factory closed for good in 2007.[5]
