DIRECTIONS (take note!)

From the north along the A437, Dawley Road, pass The Woolpack Club on your left, then at the roundabout immediately following, take the first exit (opposite Swallowfield Way) into a small industrial estate . It is only once through the entrance that a very small sign advertising the Archive is visible. There is a free car park.

From the south along the A437: over the railway bridge, at the next roundabout continue on A437 Dawley Road – looks like the 3rd exit on Google Earth – then at the next roundabout take the third exit into the small industrial estate. If you pass The Woolpack on your RHS, you’ve gone too far.
