Easthampstead, Bracknell
We moved to Easthampstead in 1962 and moved away in 1968. Bracknell town did have the Crossways but I do remember the rest of the town which was still beautiful and old. When we returned in 1969 I was horrified as an 11 ...Read more

The Royal Oak is on the north side of the street (right). The busy mix of cyclists and cars is typical of a 1950s street scene.
The other two pubs, the Royal Oak and the Hare and Hounds, are still open. Here we look across the green towards the village school of 1815.
Down the slope is the sign of the Royal Oak Hotel (above the hand-cart) and the shop window of butchers W and R Fletcher Ltd (two ladies passing), with a painter on a ladder further down the hill.
Opposite the police station is the Alexandra public house, and to its left the Castle and Royal Oak hotels, both registered in the 1770 rate book.
The Royal Oak, part of which can be seen on the right has the claim to fame of reputedly being the place in which the official surrender of the invasion was signed on 22 February 1797.
Up to the 1970s, the Royal Oak public house offered a welcome break to travellers before they moved on to London or Thrapston.
Down the slope the sgn of the Royal Oak Hotel hangs above the hand-cart; it was named for King Charles II, who was nearly captured on his escape into exile along this very street in 1651.
The Royal Oak (now the Halifax Bank) was rebuilt in 1903. All this, together with Charles Wren's new fish shop in 1905, helped give the town centre a fresher and more modern face.
There were three pubs - the Royal Oak and the King's Head on the High Street, roughly where their namesakes are today, and the Clarence Arms (now the Park Hotel) on Park Road.
