Nostalgic memories of Slough's local history

Share your own memories of Slough and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Looked as if it hadn't changed in eight years that I was away.
Before they tore down the left side. The Slough College of Further Education replaced these shops and flats, if I remember correctly.
Looked the same when I returned in 1958 to Slough
Still looked the same in 1958 when I returned to Slough.
We lived just down the street from this corner and it all seemed so small to me after returning from eight years in Canada. I had left England at age 5 and came back at age 13 which was quite a culture shock for me. But Slough and area became my local stomping grounds as my teenage years progressed until I returned to Canada in 1966.
At 16 the High Street was the place to go and be seen. The two cinemas within easy walking distance, the park, the shops. What more could a teenager want?
My school, Slough Tech was right behind this centre
This was how we remembered Slough and it hadn't changed much when we returned in 1958, other than a lot more traffic.
Did there used to be a tower block in Common Road called Albion? Was it demolished and if so, why?.......I remember seeing it in a tv series.
Up to the age of 10 I spent many happy hours at the Ambassador, if not watching the latest film I would be found in the projection room with my father (chief projectionist) Arthur Dednum or with my mother, Doris Dednum, in the managers office who was at that time manageress. Happy days and a lot of happy memories of the Ambo, and thanks to David Morris for remembering my father, and yes, I do remember you David. David Dednum.
