Dear List Has anyone had any experience of visiting the County Records Office? I am planning a visit next spring and would value any tips or experiences. I will be particularly interested in Workhouse (kidderminster) prison (worcester) and Asylum (powick) records. Thank you Louise

Hi Louise I did some research on my grandmother's Powick asylum records, and you need to be aware that many of the records are kept off-site in storage in Gloucestershire. When I was planning a trip I had to request the records i was after and it took about two weeks for them to be available to view at the County Record Office. I would imagine other records may well be the same, so make sure you contact the office well in advance. I phoned, and confirmed by email, what I wanted to view.
