I'd agree about the lack of facilities at ERO, but it does have the advantage of a less than 5 minute walk along the canal side path into the town centre, with 4 or 5 eating and drinking places right in front of you, ranging from a sandwich shop via pubs to a couple of full blown restaurants.

Unlike some records offices that are on the outskirts of their town, with no facilities.
