Remember When: Mr Bean filmed in Littlewick Green

1985: Allan Carter’s Maidenhead RFC retained the Giddy & Giddy Berkshire Cup by the skin of their teeth against a tenacious Bracknell at Lily Hill Park.

In a low-scoring game, hot favourites Maidenhead clinched their fourth consecutive county crown with a 6-4 victory.

1985: About 1,000 members of staff – past and present – gathered to pay an emotional farewell to Cliveden Hospital.

The hospital – which served through two world wars and had been part of the NHS since its inception in 1947 – was due to close at the end of the month, when its services would be transferred to newly-built units at Wexham Park Hospital in Slough.

1995: Littlewick Green villagers were invited to star alongside Rowan Atkinson as the TV comedy Mr Bean dropped in.

The picturesque village was transformed into a film set when shooting took place for two episodes.

The classic show also filmed at Riverside Gardens and Cliveden.

1995: A flavour of America came to Maidenhead with the opening of Pinkerton’s bar and diner in Bridge Street.

The themed venue was decorated with Stateside memorabilia evoking the famous American detective agency, complete with wooden flooring, brass railings and a sweeping ‘Cheers’ style bar.

1995: A novel fundraising idea dreamt up by Piggott pupil Emma Byrtles raised about £135 for Comic Relief.

Emma and seven friends decided to seek sponsorship for trying to construct the world’s largest sandwich – a concoction including jelly, banana, coleslaw, crisps, jam and tuna.

It eventually reached 1m 40cm and was eaten by the volunteers.

2000: Pop group Scooch, who already had a top five hit under their belts, enthralled star-struck youngsters at Waltham St Lawrence Primary School.

The energetic popstars were at the school to give the children a first-hand taste of pop music.

2000: Teams of 12 to 14-year-olds from Furze Platt Comprehensive, Kendrick Girls’ School in Reading and Charters in Sunninghill took the law into their own hands by playing solicitors, magistrates, defendants, and ushers.

They were taking part in the Magistrates Court Mock Trial Competition, held at Maidenhead Magistrates’ Court.
