Full Description: In 1843 James Bedborough, a Windsor builder, bought land in the area and built 29 terraced houses and large villas overlooking a park. This estate was built for early commuters with easy access to Windsor and London by train being the attraction. There were three separate blocks - Victoria Terrace, East Villas and West Villas. It is believed that Joseph Paxton laid out the grounds and Benjamin Baud was responsible for the houses. In 1949 the grounds were sold to Slough Borough Council and renamed Herschel Park. In 1970 Upton Park was made a conservation area.
The postcard was publised by H.G.Stone, a commercial photographer in Slough; he later moved to Farnham Common. |
