Title: Berlei Offices, Bath Road, Slough. About 1975 [Go to resource]
Description: Berlei was started in Australia in 1907 when two ladies set up a small corset business from a back room. In 1929 Berlei came to Britain and the Art-Deco style building was built in 1936. Praised by Pevsner, the architects were O.R.Salvisberg with Sir John Brown and A.E.Henson. Berlei were one of the first companies to come to the Slough Trading Estate. In 1983 there were fears of closure and a development company wanted to redevelop the site. By then it was only used as a warehouse and office. In 1984 Berlei moved some staff to another building on the Bath Road and the warehouse was transferred to Wales. Berlei went into liquidation in 1985 and the building was demolished. The Berlei building was replaced by the mirror glass Citroen factory.
