Shah Of Persia

A Memory of Bracknell.

When I speak about the Shah of Persias visit to Makepiece Road in the early 60s, people dismiss it as another bit of nostalgic claptrap. I was however watching his visit from my bedroom window at 33 Makepiece Rd., as he and his dignitaries spent some time at the house opposite. Having moved from the backstreets of Edmonton, North London in 1958 it was a welcome change to have a front and back garden with a garage no less. I attended Sandy Lane, then Wick Hill schools until 1969,when I was instigated into the armed forces. Does anyone remember the classes of 64/69? Wild times indeed!
