Arborfield Grange is at the centre of this view; it had been requisitioned during WWII, and there appear to be extra roadways to cater for wartime use. To its left, the ground has been heavily disturbed by military vehicle movements. Above the Grange is the old Arborfield Rectory on Church Lane - but the lane's alignment in this picture seems to be different from what it is now. Further to the east on Church Lane is a curious arrangement of dots and rectangles. What did they represent? To the south of Reading Road are New Farm, then Greensward Lane, the Cross Lanes Farm and finally the partially-complete Walden Avenue. Back to Aerial Photos main page
