Access and Facilities

Parking Arrangements
There is no public car park at the Record Office. The nearest long-stay car park is off North Walls.

Readers with disabilities who are orange/blue badgeholders may reserve one of our two designated parking spaces. Other disabled readers may be accommodated in the adjacent councillors' car park only if circumstances permit. Please telephone ahead to check your parking arrangements in advance of your visit.

Bicycle racks
There are three bicycle racks available for users of the Record Office. Please note that the County Council does not accept liability for loss or damage of bicycles. Bicycles should be secured and are left at the owner's own risk. They should be removed before the Record Office closes to avoid being locked in.

Public Transport
Stafford rail station is approximately ten minutes walk from the record office.

As Stafford does not have a bus station, buses serving neighbouring towns and villages stop at different points around the town centre.

Location
Staffordshire Record Office is situated in Eastgate Street, behind the William Salt Library, and can be accessed through the archway opposite the end of Tipping Street. Visitors with disabilities using the reserved car parking spaces please use the rear entrance gate in North Walls, and use the intercom to request that the car park barrier be raised.
