Berkshire memories
John Hill (the Butcher), Macfisheries.
Hi, My name is Brenda.Glover (nee Malone). I used to work with someone that lived all his life in Arborfield, he worked as a butcher for many years. He was such a lovely person to work with. His name is John Hill. I would love to get in contact with him, does anyone know this person please? As I said, he lived in Arborfield all his life. Many thanks.
Brenda.

Hi, my name is Brenda, I used to work quite a few years ago with a vey nice person. His name was John Hill. He lived for a long time in Arborfield, and probably still does. I would love to get in contact with him again, so if anyone knows John Hill, can you please let me know! I would really appreciate it. Many thanks.

John Hill (the Butcher)
Hi, I wonder can anyone help? I'm looking for a person I used to work with many years ago, his name was John Hill. He lived in Arborfield Cross all his life. He was such a lovely person to work with. If anyone knows John Hill, I would be very grateful if you could let me know. Many thanks.
Brenda Glover (nee Malone).
Finchampstead Post Office
By the time I lived in Finchampstead in 1975 this was a private house but otherwise the street looked much the same. The Adnams family owned the garage a little further down this street on the left, opposite the playing fields.
Sindlesham
Does anyone have memories of Sindlesham from the 1950s till the late 1960s? It would be nice if someone has. It was such a pretty place.
Hot Summer Days
The group of three boys on their bicyles reminds me of hot summer days riding back from the Forest school to my home in Wokingham. We would often stop here - outside the hardware shop (Husseys?) and have a last chat before going our separate ways - clearly there was not much traffic about! In fact I could well be the boy on the left but if so I cannot recognise the other two.
At this time Wokingham had a Boots chemist - just on the right, which also had a lending libray run by Boots on the first floor and a second chemist called Tomothy Whites and Taylors the other side of the market place - the shop with the white fascia strip behind the group of boys.
Grosvenor School
At the time this photograph was taken the building in the background on the right housed the Grosvenor School. At some stage it became a surgery for a local doctor but I don't know when? By the 1950s it had grown to a surgery with several doctors, including a Dr Merrick.
