Talk:Ashdown House, Oxfordshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could someone please clarify the county location issue. I assume it is in the part of Oxfordshire which used to be part of Berkshire. Wimstead 10:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

County borders can be a contraversial subject. There is not a definitive map of the English counties, this area is a good example of where maps differ. The location, according to the political boundaries of England, is in Oxfordshire. Oxfordshire County Council will be responsible for the services in that area. However, the Postal address is Berkshire. This has more to do with the logistics of delivering mail.
