English: The West Riding Registry of Deeds. The West Riding magistrates were one of the first authorities in the country to provide for the registration of deeds and especially those relating to the transfer of property. It opened in Kirkgate in 1704. The vast bound volumes, assembled by date, were transferred to the new premises in Newstead Road in 1932. See 1611980.
The building now also houses the Wakefield and West Riding collections of the West Yorkshire Archive Service.The archive headquarters is home to hundreds of records of the former West Riding and West Yorkshire county, as well as being the record office for Wakefield Metropolitan District. The Headquarters also provide facilities such as conservation and microfilming. As well as investigating local history, visitors can delve into their family's past by using the well-equipped search facilities on site. The West Riding Registry of Deeds is a building designated as being of local interest. |
