Title: Upton Park Lodge, Albert Street, Slough. 1976 [Go to resource]
Description: Previously used as a billiard club this was the last lodge to be built and was advertised as a lodge with adjoining 'commodious' billiards room and reading room for the use of residents and visitors. The plaque visible on the side of the building depicts the goddess Diana. The lodge is now a private house. In 1843 James Bedborough bought the land and built 29 terraced houses and large villas overlooking the park. It is believed Joseph Paxton laid out the grounds and Benjamin Baud was responsible for the houses. In 1949 Upton Park was sold to Slough Borough Council and renamed Herschel Park. In 1970 the park was made a conservation area.
