Remember When: A right Carry On at Maidenhead Town Hall

1975: The facade of Maidenhead Town Hall – which had already doubled as a hospital in the Carry On film series – became a university (main picture).

The Carry On film crew moved in again to shoot location scenes for their latest epic, Carry On Behind.

1985: Residents and shoppers turned in surprise as a police car, ambulance and fire engine drove through the Cliveden View estate.

But there was no fire or accident – the emergency services were instead on a friendly visit to the Poundfield Playgroup’s 999 day.

1985: The barrel-vaulted roof, which was set to be a feature of the £2million Nicholson’s Walk refurbishment scheme, emerged in skeleton form over the High Street entrance to the precinct.

Much of the precinct was shrouded in scaffolding while work went on overhead.

1990: A group of rainforest experts were trying to alert Maidenhead to the environmental threat in Brazil – and they were all under 12 years old.

The fourth year pupils at Courthouse County Junior School had spent the past term learning about the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.

In an effort to warn Maidenhead about the dangers, they contacted the Advertiser.

1990: The Bell in King Street, Maidenhead, reopened after a complete facelift.

The emphasis was on fun for the young, with video jukeboxes and pool tables brought in.

The extensive refurbishment was overseen by landlords Bryan and Lynne Huscroft.

1995: The Mayor, Cllr Dennis Outwin and the Mayoress, Ruth Outwin, visited Maidenhead Fire Station and were taken on a tour by acting commander Bryan Morgan.

Cllr Outwin also watched a simulated rescue operation in which the men of blue watch saved a person trapped on the second floor of a blazing building.

2000: Fears a run-down community centre could close sparked a letter-writing campaign to try and save it.

Users of the popular Castle Hill Youth and Community Centre said it was being allowed to die and urged people to bombard the Royal Borough with demands for action.

Castle Hill users were told the council was considering three options – demolishing and rebuilding the centre, refurbishing the existing building, or relocating to an alternative venue.
