More about this scene

Burnham desperately struggles to keep its identity separate from the sprawl of Slough, but the historic core is surrounded by suburban housing and its main street has seen injudicious change since 1955. Much survives, but in this view from the junction with Gore Road, the Slough and District Co-op on the left and the buildings beyond have all gone, although those on the right remain. W H Cleare is now a restaurant rather than a contractors and coal factors.
