Everret's Corner (1)

A Memory of Cippenham.

This the South Est Corner of the junction on the A4 known as Everret's Corner. Just around to the right from this position are some lock-up shops that I remember from the early 1950s which included a Gents Barbers. Further along still was the Essoldo Cinema and Ballroom (known locally as Dollies). Opposite this corner was a row of brick built shops which included a Post Office. The road running North from this junction passed Wichello's the butchers, the community centre and recreation ground (venue for a travelling fair "Traylens" every year), Stanhope Road, under the railway bridge and Burnham GWR station. It joioned to a road wehich was once called Windsor Lane but which was renamed, about this time to be Burnham Lane. That road ran from the bottom of Burnham Village High Street all the way to the A4.
