NOTICE: We are currently carrying out a major repair programme on the Long Warehouse in Coalbrookdale which houses the Museum Library and Archives. Work will include removing asbestos sheeting and completely re-roofing the building and it will therefore be necessary to close access to the Library and Archives until July 2025.
During the closure period we will endeavour to continue to respond to enquiries but as staff will not have access to the Collections, we may not be able to respond to all research requests until the works are completed.
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.
