Accessibility

The Record Office is located in the Guildhall, which has steps up to the main door.  There is a level-access entrance to the left of the steps, just inside the entrance to the market. Enter the gateway into the market and immediately on your right you will find a door with an intercom to call the Guidlhall reception staff.

Inside the Guildhall, the Record Office is situated in the basement, and access is via stairs. For users who require level access, we will be happy to bring to a ground floor room documents and other resources  - please contact us before visiting, so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

There is a lift which visitors who find stairs difficult may use, but in the event of a fire alarm the lift cannot be used and all visitors will need to leave the building by a short flight of stairs.

A Disabled Toilet is available on the ground floor of the Guildhall.

If you are taking part in a tour of the strongrooms, please note that it will involve involve negotiating uneven floors, steps and low headroom.

Please make an appointment if you are planning to visit the Record Office, and let us know your access requirements when you make your booking.
