 Local Map - Thomas Pride, 1790

This detail is from the Thomas Pride map dating from 1790, back in the stage-coach era, and before the Commons were sold off under the Enclosure Awards. Look for 'Barewood Common', Langley Common' and 'Toutly Common', which was on a straight track north-east from the centre of Arborfield.

Look also for 'Bullmarsh Heath', which is modern-day 'Bulmershe'. Reading's 'New Town' was not yet in existence
