A view of Cookham 160 years ago.

A view of Cookham 160 years ago.
*******************************
Once again with grateful thanks to the Berkshire Records Office I am able to bring you this Survey Map of 1852 when the enclosures of the parish was completed by order of the government of the day. If you click on the picture you will get a full screen view and find what buildings existed then and still exist today. Two things you will note that there is no Holy Trinity School and that Berries Road did not exist. I am still investigating that there was a third farm in the village, with the farmhouse being East Gate at the top of the High Street.
