I used to go to the school here - St Michaels. Every week we walked up to the church, two by two, past the farm where Wild Ridings is now. I remember when there were cows grazing there and harvest festival service was relevant to the farmers.
Later I worked at Church Hill House on Ward 4 (1973). The Hospital has... [more]

White Cottage (Blacksmith's Cottage)
My family and I lived in the White Cottage (known to us as the Blacksmith's Cottage) from about 1962 to 1964, whereafter we emigrated to Canada. I have fond memories of the cottage and its low ceilings, the Aga in the kitchen, the huge garden which bordered a school (St. Michael's?), and of course the church up the road where we... [more]

Oh, what a joy to find this photograph. Between the Market Inn and the shop was a little unmade lane called Searl Street. I was born at number five, at my grandparents' house, in October 1945.
Over the years I returned to Bracknell on many occasions to visit relatives, the last time I visited was in the 1980s and I was... [more]

Dunno if this is the same place, we called it Harmans Water, on the Ascot/Bracknell road. My Uncle Albert had a little demolition firm, my brother was the driver, they were the only regulars, I as a kid worked at weekends and holidays as did other relatives. First job was to pull down the Victorian Post Office for the Bracknell Dev... [more]

I moved to Binfield with my parents Rose and Cyril Richardson and my brother Brian in 1946. We lived in Rose Hill at a house called “Athlone”. It isn’t there any more, it was demolished and six houses built on the site.
At the age of 30 I finally left Binfield but the memories of growing up there have... [more]

Cricketing memories at Broadmoor.
A fine cricket ground was included within the walls where Bracknell CC played each year. There was a concert party formed from among the inmates that used to give performances in the villages around Crowthorne: the party travelled with a strong force of warders. Just after WWII there was an occasion when a notorious murderer managed to escape and... [more]

I can remember going sancing in the park. I was stationed at Bailiol Camp, Arborfield and we used to go there in a 3 ton army lorry. I can't remember how often we used to go there, after all it was 60 + years ago. I went back to Arborfield Camp a couple of years ago with the REME assn.... [more]

Berkshire Churches Photographic Memories
Inside this expansive parish church the many signs of the Early English era are manifest in the pulpit, for instance, which is inscribed and dated 1631 on a large arched panel with a good helping of arabesque. The stall backs are fine pedimented panels dating from the 17th century, and came from Oxford Cathedral. Stained glass in the east window represents the Last Judgement, and is described... [more]

Wokingham and Bracknell Photographic Memories
Viewed across a new orchard is the mansion of Moore Close. The original house, built by Mr Hutchinson Brown, was bought by Charles Birch Crisp who, in 1910, commissioned newly-qualified architect Oliver Hill to enlarge the house and design the gardens. Newbold Missionary College moved to the site in February 1946.
