Bodleian Library hub houses 10 million books
More than 10 million books, maps and artefacts belonging to Oxford University's world-famous Bodleian Library are stored in a warehouse near Swindon.
The unassuming building in South Marston houses the huge collection on shelving which in total covers 150 miles and is stretched over 10-metre-high aisles.
Staff collect the books as requested and send them to the reading rooms in Oxford.
