Work has now begun on extending Warwickshire County Record Office's
premises. The overall building programme will last in excess of 12 months,
and I am now in a position to confirm the overall timetable.
I would be grateful if you could bring details of service disruption to the
attention of any of your users who may be planning to visit us. Anyone who
wishes to receive details of the re-launch of the service closer to the
time should send a stamped self-addressed envelope to
