IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
The Homestead, Brayfield Road, MAIDENHEAD, SL6 2BP

The Village Hall was built in 1923. One website listing halls that can be hired in the Maidenhead area curiously lists this one as being capable of "holding 100 people (80 comfortably)". (NB On a personal note this was not the greatest view possible of the hall but I was constrained by the parked cars in front and the low bright sunshine.)

See also Nigel Cox's Image I like the caption he's put with it.

Outside this house is displayed the results of Bray's entry in the Britain in Bloom competition for every year since 1990.

Grade I listed. Listing number 1319439. Almshouses dated 1627. Founded by William Goddard, and under the care of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers.

The narrowness of Bray's High Street here has necessitated the introduction of a traffic restriction with priority given to vehicles coming in the opposite direction. The front doors of the half-timbered houses on the right that face out onto the street are so low that the lintels are below the shoulder height of an average man. Image is visible in the distance.

These almshouses were endowed through the munificence of William Goddard in his will in 1627. He allowed to provide for 40 persons of which 6 were to be aged fishmongers. The four sides, of which this is the front one, surround an internal quadrangle. Goddard's statue can just be seen in the gable end over the front entrance, which has a sign over the doorway advising that "Vagrants Hawkers & Dogs are not admitted". It is to be hoped that the reading standards of dogs in the Bray area are at a higher level than the national average.

Or The Crown at Bray to give it its proper name. This is another old white-washed half-timbered building in Bray.

These almshouses were endowed through the munificence of William Goddard in his will in 1627. He allowed to provide for 40 persons of which 6 were to be aged fishmongers. The four sides, of which this is the front one, surround an internal quadrangle. This is the main entrance with the statue of William Goddard in the gable end. Over the front entrance is the sign advising that "Vagrants Hawkers & Dogs are not admitted". It is to be hoped that the reading standards of dogs in the Bray area are at a higher level than the national average. See Image for a view looking along the road outside.

The interesting sign of the Fat Duck incorporates a webbed foot, feather and bill. Certainly from the outside this is a modest establishment although owned by a culinary megastar and appropriately priced.
