The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read
the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our

Full Description
A building numbered as 4 and 6 Market Place, was listed at Grade III in the Newbury Borough list <1> and described as dated to 1928 but of 'good modern Georgian brick'. Numbering for the Market Place is odd on the west side and even on the east side, and No 6 is marked on the 5th Epoch Ordnance Survey of 1967 <2>, where it is also named as a bank.
Nos 4 and 6 were recommended for delisting <1>, although it is not clear exactly when the group was demolished. There is no additional information about this building in a local guide of the 1970s <3>. However a new concrete building was constructed on the site in 1969, for Barclays Bank.
