Description: | Looking east from Slough High Street West towards the junction with Windsor Road and William Street, commonly known as Crown Corner. Seen on the left are signs for The Foresters Arms and the White Hart pubs. Both were demolished to make way for Slough Library in 1974. The Prudential buildings can be seen in the distance with shops such as Franks, King's, and ABC at street level. Franks was a drapers and milliner, King's sold coats and costumes and ABC was the Aerated Bread Co Ltd. The book 'Memories of Slough' dates this photo from 1952.
The postcard was published by Francis Frith who date the image as about 1955. However a copyright notice for T. Sergeant appears on the postcard which is numbered SGH20. | 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 | Subjects: | Streets ; Pubs & inns ; Shops ; The Foresters Arms ; White Hart ; Franks ; King's ; ABC ; Aerated Bread Co.
