More about this scene

Slough began to expand following Slough Estates' acquisition of 700 acres of derelict land in 1920. The company used the land to create a trading estate, something that at that time was considered enterprising and innovative.

In front is the Crown PH. Later Slough College was built behind the left hand side, in the 60's when we were at the College we used to eat at The Foresters, a pub on the left, pie mash & beans and a light and lime (sorry!) cost 2/6d! a bit further on there was an arch to the open market, you could walk thru and out onto Wlliam St (?) I remember the army surplus shop in there.
