Facilities and Some Points to Note

• It may be necessary to book, and a reader ticket will be required. Please see the relevant sections to the left for more details.
• Please be aware that no bags/handbags are allowed in the searchroom, unless you need to bring them in with you initially, for the purposes of showing identification in order to obtain a reader ticket. We provide lockers on the ground floor in which you may then leave your bags and any other belongings you do not require for your research. A large clear plastic zip-up envelope can be found in each locker for your convenience, which you may bring up to the searchroom with you.
• We have a lift available for those people who cannot manage the stairs to our first floor searchroom.
• We have a car park, with spaces for blue badge holders immediately adjacent to our building. There is also a loop system installed in the searchroom for those using hearing aids.
• Unfortunately, we do not have a refreshment room, but there is a vending machine in the entrance hall where you may obtain a hot drink and chairs where you may sit to eat sandwiches. (This machine does not take 50p or £1 coins however, so please be sure to bring enough change.) Alternatively, we are only 5 or 10 minutes from various cafes etc. in the city centre.
• We will close for 3 weeks this year for our stocktake. This will probably be the last week in November and the first weeks in December. Please see the diary page (there is a link on the right) for exact dates. Although you will be unable to visit the office in person during this time, we will still answer telephone, letter and e-mail enquiries.
