Hello Karvan,

East Street School is off Market Street/Cookham Road. Kidwells Park is opposite a tad further on.
St Lukes school is futher down the Cookham Road just past St Mary's RC Church.

It's more or less opposite to the turning on the left to Cordwallis Road.

Later on about 1968/69 St Lukes boys moved to Altwood Road.
It then became part of Altwood School.

What number in Queen Street in 1911. Was it above the shops as there were few houses there?

Added... What about Boyne Hill Cof E  or All Saints. Western side of town.

Hi
I wasn't sure where the the school was. I have a book  - Maidenhead in old photographs - and there is a photo of a group of children outside East St C of E school and the caption says it later became St. Lukes!
I know where St Lukes school is now but have no idea how long it has been there.
The family lived at no.56 Queen Street more or less where the nightclub is now.
Family history is sooooooo frustrating!
I think I'll see if they have any records at the Berkshire records office!

Just been thru everything thing I can find on the schools. All Saints and Boyne Hill schools were opened pre 1900. No ref to St Lukes. St Mary's was the RC school and Desborough was a Masonic Hall. Gorden Road is shown on a map c 1910.

My brothers were at East street in the 1960's ...  ??? so I don't understand. Unless the children later (after inf & jnr) went to St Lukes... possibly.

The Creamery was no 76 Queen Street. I only know that as my Gt Grandad had a dairy.

Hmmm...... I'll post if I find anything else.

Hi
I have just joined this site. Fascinating!
I've been working on my family history for about 15 years.
I lived in Maidenhead for all of my school years, first I attended Boyne Hill Infants school. Then the junior school, then on to the County Girls School, as it was known then, on Castle Hill.
I have a photo of it, also Queen Anne House opposite where we did some of our lessons. If anyone would like a copy just let me know. At the request of Bridget Hole, a very good friend of mine, I also sent them to the Maidenhead Heritage Society.
I remember my cousin marrying a Horwood from Garden Cottages.  I think he also lived there at one time, before moving to Boyne Valley Road. The name is Shaw.
I have many fond memories of my childhood. We were poor but my sister and I never went hungry, although I have no doubt that my mother and grandmother sometimes did.
I also have some rotten memories of the war, of being so scared my teeth chattered.
Enough, I am digressing.  Just wanted you to know what a wonderful site you have here.

As another "old Girl" from Maidenhead Welcome to Roots Chat. 

It's good to have another Maidonian on board!  What years were you at the CG's School?  I have just received copies of the school photo taken in 1953 and 1956 and can let you have copies.  I would be interested in copies of the school particularly Queen Ann House - a part of Maidenhead that should never have been destroyed!

You have to make three posts before you can send or receive Private Messages so just add a couple more messages to this thread and then you can PM me.  My pics are too big to post on the board,

Cheers,
Abiam

Hi all
have just had a very interesting read of your maidenhead memories.

I too am an old maidonian as was my father, who was born in denmark street.

I went to maidenhead convent, lived in cannon court rd, which is off switchback rd furze platt, just to clarify the point.
