Hi

If you are wanting original documents contact them before you visit as they have outsourced all their storage whilst they are in temp accomadation. Therefore they collected the original documents once a week, so you need to order what you want before they collect and wait until it is delivered.

I think coventry use carn tickets so take yours with you or take proof of who you are and where you live.

Hope this helps as you dont want a wasted trip.

It is by the Canal basin and there is not much room so best to book especially if you will need a reader
