Bowyers has been connected to Trowbridge for 200 years

An exhibition looking back at the pie company's 200 year connection to the area begins on 15 March.

Former and existing employees are being asked to lend the museum any material they have for the display.

"The museum is particularly keen to have objects and the more unusual the better," said curator Clare Lyall.

"We have a lot of photos already, but we're looking for 3-D items, a uniform for instance," she added.

"We've got a sausage mould, a cuddly Bowyers pie (toy) and a delivery bike, but if people have any other objects and a story with it, we'd like to borrow it.

"Bowyers has been part of Trowbridge's history since 1808 and we want to commemorate that."

The museum has already acquired a Bowyer's delivery bike

Pork Farms is closing the factory and investing in a Nottingham plant to be able to continue producing Melton Mowbray pork pies under EU laws.

Some of the 400 employees whose jobs were affected may be transferred to Shaftsbury.
