EPW051478 ENGLAND (1936). Manor Park housing estate and environs, Slough, 1936

12 Salisbury Avenue

There is a large depression/hole in the woods here. We were told as kids that a V2 flying bomb landed here during WWII (not sure if it's true but interesting all the same)

Manor park field and community hall. Used to have a rose garden section to the north of the field (right side behind the hall).

Granville playing fields

Stoke Poges Lane - at this point the bottom of Hawthorne Crescent joined it; the estate built to the east of Stoke Poges Lane was started around 1950.

Is this the Ambassador Cinema on the Farnham Road? Long gone but never forgotten.

Stoke Park Golf Course

Muddy Lane - had lots of chestnut trees - excellent place to get your conkers.

Methodist Chapel - my father's side were staunch Methodists from South Wales - my parents moved down to Slough before WWII to get work. I spent many a miserable Sunday afternoon in this place wishing I was outside playing in the sun.
