Abbeydale Road Area, Sheffield S7
The workshop is near Abbeydale Road in Sheffield S7. The exact address is given after appointment confirmation. That keeps arrivals spaced out and means Elin can log your carriers while the notes are still fresh.

What To Bring
The Useful Things
- All tapes, discs or reels, even if one looks blank or badly labelled.
- Original boxes, cards, sleeves and loose paper notes.
- Preferred spellings for names, places, bands and interview subjects.
- A deadline if the files are needed for a funeral, birthday, archive deposit or estate matter.
- A USB stick if you want to use your own, or ask for a 32GB stick at £8.
Final Reassurance
Originals are logged on arrival, stored indoors and never left in a car overnight. If a carrier looks unsafe to play, you will hear that before we risk it. The aim is not to be dramatic about old media. The aim is to get it home again with the sound intact.
