Service History

 

The history of Berkshire Record Office
Shinfield Park, 1981 to 2000

During winter 1980/81 the whole County Council, including the Record Office, moved to the new Shire Hall at Shinfield Park, next to Junction 11 of the M4. The move also saw the creation of a Modern Records Centre to manage the administrative records of the County Council. The Office’s searchroom, offices and workrooms moved to a bigger space within Shire Hall in 1994.
