Berkshire Arms (Midgham, Berkshire) Some pubs will have reduced opening hours and menus, and this information along with how to book, will have been updated on individual pubs’ websites. Greene King chief executive Nick Mackenzie said: “We are really pleased to be able to reopen further pubs outdoors and welcome back more our customers in time for the bank holiday weekend. “Sadly, we are still not able to open a larger amount of our estate in April, but we know the vital role pubs play in communities and feel it’s important to open as many as we can to help people get back together once again.
HAVING left for Australia at the age of sixteen, Mrs. Chris McGovern returned in 1977, and could not believe how much her town had changed, luckily, the Bracknell News had a rare chance to view her album of photos from the late 1950’s. During a whistle stop tour of Bracknell, using her scrapbook “The history of The Destruction of Bracknell”, she revisited the site of her family home in Ralph’s Ride, where her father had a small-holding with pigs and chickens. All three of the family homes were now demolished and whilst touring the area Mrs. McGovern was tight-lipped about her feelings, only commenting that the shops ‘are very good now’.
