Roof repairs April to June 2026
From April to June 2026, part of our roof is being replaced. The number of car parking spaces will be reduced, and we may not be able to retrieve records from stores under the roofing works. We're sorry for any problems this may cause. Please contact us before your visit to check that the records you'd like to use are available.
