Helping People Discover Their Family History

Building Work at the Hub 28 November to 8 December

Urgent roof repairs and work to make the building more environmentally sustainable will be taking place. There will be some disruption although the Centre itself won’t be directly affected. We can expect a lot of noise. It could be a bit colder than usual in the Centre so please bring that extra jumper.
