The history of Berkshire Record Office
The Forbury, 1948 to 1980
Berkshire Record Office’s first permanent home was next door to the old
Shire Hall, in the Forbury, Reading. The Office spread
across the basement of the Assize Courts and the adjacent Police Station,
eventually housing a searchroom, 10 strongrooms, 3 offices and a repair room.
The first conservator was appointed in 1971. |
