EPW051481 ENGLAND (1936). Housing development around Baylis House and environs, Slough, 1936

Site of small chapel where the service and the notice outside were in Welsh. A lot of welsh people, including my parents, migrated down to Slough between the wars looking for work. It is now the site of an Islamic Centre.

Farnham Road, bridge over GWR.

Site of Slough Technical High School,(went there '62 to '66) now known as Herschel Grammar.

Confectioners - for those kids who had a few pennies, this shop was a great temptation to spend your money on sweets on the way home from school. I think it is still a retail outlet today.

Underpass built under the main GWR railway line(Paddington to Reading; this allowed access to the park from the Baylis side.

Paddling pool for youngsters - NW end of the park - and a small hut to the west for shelter in case of inclement weather. I think there were swings and slides close to the line of trees to the east of the pool.

Baylis Lido - outdoor swimming pool - no longer in existence.

This building was used as a school just after WWII. I was 4 years old when I went there. Only one class and then on to Elliman Avenue Primary.

In the Fifties, this was the local surgery and Dr Findlay was the head of the practice.

Elliman Avenue Primary School. Now a housing estate and rebuilt on the other side of the road. The allotments were at the end of the road and have now been used as the school playing field.
