High Street, looking east
Step back to 1908, to a quieter Bracknell where High Street bustled gently with the rhythms of everyday life. Two boys stand mid-road, deep in conversation, while cyclists, shoppers, and a distant cart bring the scene to life.
Local businesses — Etchells the photographer, Frank K. millinery, and the ever-present Percy House — hint at a close-knit community where everyone knew your name and a photograph was still a rare treasure. Children in pinafores and boots, gas lamps lining the street, and neatly kept houses with ivy-covered façades complete this quintessential Edwardian moment.
