Hi all. I was in touch with my contact at Maidenhead Library re Tyrrells/Turrells Buildings. Turns out the story about the Guards from Windsor came from two books, one of which is the one just mentioned. I'll be getting a copy to see if any primary source was used or whether this is just speculation. What I have discovered just recently is that 'Barracks' was a term used widely at that time to decibel such accommodation. The 1862 census for nearby Burnham records such a 'Barracks' with multiple occupancy.

Hello Everyone,
Maidenhead Voices is by Chrissy Rosenthal and Ann Danks and is from the Tempus Oral History Series. I believe my daughter purchased it on-line from Amazon Books.
One of the things of particular interest to me was the flooding at Ray Park Cottages and punting down the road on builder's planks ! I can just imagine my mother being one of the children to do that.
Regards,
ANYAS

Imber,
That's interesting to hear. And, having looked at the census and seeing the amount of people living in Tyrell's I think decibel was probably the right word!!!
Let's hope there is some authenticity to it,
Regards, Abiam

Maidenhead Heritage Centre has acquired a new permanent home in Park Street - a former pub and this is about to undergo refurbishment. They are still fundraising for that!

Anyas.
Thankyou so much for recommending 'Maidenhead Voices' it arrived yesterday and I spent most of the afternoon and all evening reading it. I even remember two of the submitters from schooldays.
I wish my family from Garden Cottages and the Barracks could see how improved my life style has been. There was such a divide between the rich and the poor. Maidenhead may been known as 'The jewel of the Thames' but there was most certainly another side to the town.
Thank you again,
Regards Abiam
PS. I ordered it secondhand from Amazon and it arrived promptly and in very good condition.

Hello Anyas,
Just read through these posts again and wonder if you ever found out any more on Maidenhead Schools, particularly East Street.
Hope your research is going well!
Regards, Abiam

Hello Abiam,
I'm afraid I still haven't managed to get to the Record Office. I live in Essex so it involves a fair bit of advance planning and so far the spare time has not been available to me - I will get there one day though !!
Research is going along quite well, apart from one or two brick walls !!
Hope your own research is progressing.
Kind regards,
ANYAS
