Description: | The post office can be seen on the right and a little further along was the village hall. The post office was no longer listed on the Ordnance map by 1924 and in 1968 a telephone exchange is shown on adjoining land. By 1978 all of the houses on the left of the photograph had been demolished and replaced with modern housing. The scaffolding that can be seen on the left may indicate that these were houses being built at the time. According to the Ordnance map for 1899 there were almshouses on this site. According to the caption on the photograph the first large tree on the left in the distance was still standing in 1978. The area covered by the photograph is now in the High Street nearly opposite the Police Station. The roadway appears to be unsurfaced and there is no footpath shown. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | Post Offices ; Roads ; Houses | Temporal: | start=1870-01-01; end=1920-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Copy by Reg Harrison | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
