We are looking forward to building works starting in the New Year. We have changed our foundation designs due to a combination of the geology and archaeology of the site. This took time to finalise and has resulted in additional costs that we hadn’t anticipated. We are thrilled to have a funding package in place, which is allowing works to start.

We plan to run a temporary research room from the Frith Centre whilst the main Archives building is adapted and extended. The current arrangements for pre-ordering documents will continue but on-site parking will be limited to those with blue badges. In case of unforeseen changes, please check the Archives’ website before visiting.

We are a small and growing group of people interested in the history of The Dowty Group and keen to share this with others.
