Bracknell: Wokingham Road, looking west, c1912 & 2012
The aerial pic is from 1960. Modern houses in Fowlers Lane (seen on right of middle pic) are at an angle to the main road, as the old ones were in 1914.
All the buildings in the 1912 photo had been demolished by 1972. Nearby cottages in Binfield Road somehow escaped the wrecking ball, and must be Bracknell's only surviving row of dwellings from the late Victorian/Edwardian era. At any rate, I can't think of any others.
