I agree, Furze Platt is nice, anything roughly round that area or on the road to Marlow, near the Lemon Tree pub. I would stay away from Boyn Hill - if you...
Boyne Hill would be a good choice. Walking distance of the train station and town and easy access to the A4 and M4. All Saints C. of E. infant and junior...
East Berkshire College - definitely not for long - closes its doors end of the summer term. The support and concern of the local populace has I have to admit...
I was at the protest meeting, Ian, and I took along a surveyor who has expert knowledge of the springs under the area. You will remember that a house in Clare...
The point about all this is the local residents fought, tooth and nail to resist the new building - to protect their investment, which is understandable - but...
... Yes we lived for almost 10 years in that area, it is a good place to live - lovely to be within 10 mins walk of town & the station. Good luck with your ...
Agreed, Boyn Hill is nice. I would be a bit cautious about Boyn Valley though. Other areas that would fit the criteria are All Saints, St Marks and Furze...

A very unhappy situation, I agree, Ian. I don't understand why Boyne Hill House (the derelict bit of the college) is listed. It never was an attractive...
Bridget The story goes - although this is from the 'College' perspective - so I cannot swear to the truth of it - is that one of the residents has close ...
The first stone was laid for All Saints church Boyne Hill on 23rd Oct. 1855, and the church was consecrated on 2nd Dec. 1857. The bell tower was not added...
This evening I dined at The Balcony, the new Indian restaurant in Nicholsons Lane. I must say I would highly recommend it. The food, service and surroundings...

Does anybody know someone locally who would convert a VHS tape to DVD for me? I know I could do it with the right hardware and software, but as it is only the...
Printique offer that service, IIRC Not sure what they charge, though. ... -- AdamT "Just pick a random entry in the BNF and ship it to Surbiton, please"...
We now can't go to see the film tonight at Windsor Arts Centre. We have booked and paid for tickets which will now go to waste. If you want them they are...
Hi Juli I'm pretty sure that Printique at the top of the High Street have a sign in their window saying that they do that sort of thing. No idea of cost...

This subject recently came up after a few beverages in the pub - Where in Maidenhead has been used in films? Everyone knows about the Town Hall being used as a...
The old police station was used in some, was it the Sweeney. Also the delivery area for Nicolson's Walk in Murder most foul. Boyn Avenue in some army series ...
Hi Adam....I'm sure there are others who are more intimately involved in historic Maidenhead, but the exteriors of the Fawlty Towers series were shot at the...
Hi, while we are on the subject, "Badgers Green" was shot on the cricket field and the pavilion at Littlewick Green in 1948 and released in 1949. Based on the...

Thanks Paul -- Fascinating and nostalgic site. What still amazes me is that they only made twelve episodes, and they show them more or less continuously on...
I'm surprised no one's remembered the excellent John Boorman film "Hope and Glory", still available on DVD. As I remember, the kids are sent out of WWII London...
Aome of the river scenes in "Kind Hearts and Coronets" were filmed at the now demolished "Guards Club" in guess where - Guards Club Road, just behind the...
