Description: | The Village Shopping Centre was an indoor market built on what was previously the site of an outdoor market. It was set back from Slough High Street and approached via a narrow lane, between the Alliance & Leicester and the NatWest banks, leading in from Slough High Street before opening out in front of the main entrance. There were also entrances in Church Street and Buckingham Gardens. The lane and the area at the front of The Village housed open air market stalls. This photograph shows the view along the passage leading into the Centre from the Church Street entrance. On the left are "aahib-Al-Misk" at No. 1 and "IT House" at No. 2.
The Village has since been demolished and moved to new premises slightly west of its' old site and fronting directly onto Slough High Street | 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: | Shops ; Markets The Village Shopping Centre ; High Street ; IT House ; Saahib-Al-Misk | Temporal: | start=2006-06-01; end=2007-06-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Jacky Burns | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
