Nostalgic memories of Windsor's local history

Share your own memories of Windsor 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.

I remember when the old Roadmaster double-deckers used this bridge daily on their run to and from Slough. Now the bridge is closed to road traffic and the vehicles have to detour around the Brocas to access Windsor.
Before it was closed to traffic and cobbled. Although the Goswell's ally was paved with ridges back in the 1800's to allow horses to get a foothold when hauling wagons down.
People who lived in Clewer in the 1900's wouldn't recognize the place.
Can't recall if the "old girl" was still standing at the intersection of Castle Hill and Peascod St when I visited in 2010, but she stood there for a great many years.
No matter how old it is it never seems to change
A great job transforming this old lady into a viable and attractive entrance to Windsor from the Slough station, where tourists arrive from all parts of the country. An improvement from the dirty, smoke stained facade that it was when I was in nursery school a few doors away.
Too bad these old post boxes have been removed from most towns now - the red ones were such a cheery sight.
These are the old terrace houses across from where my Dad was born. Shame they can't be revived for housing.
When I left there was a high fortress wall around the castle which has ben taken down so that visitors can sit on it.
Hasn't changed a bit in the 37 years I've been away.
