Description: | The exterior of Slough Baptist Church taken from the junction of Windsor Road and Herschel Street.The small Slough Baptist community had met in various places during the 1880sand 1890s. In 1897 Alderman Walter Reavell secured the present site in Windsor Road which he gave to the Baptists who built an iron church. This was subsequently replaced by the church in the photo, built in 1904 and opened in 1905. The builder was Mr Flint of High Wycombe who also built St. Pauls church in Slough. The pastor at the time was Revd Theo Cousens. The white building to the right of the church is the church caretaker's house, bought in 1919. The passage between the two buildings leads to the church hall, added in 1932.
