View looking North up Windsor Road, from a 1950’s postcard. Observatory House was the residence of Slough’s most famous resident, the astronomer William Herschel, who discovered Uranus in 1781; the house was demolished in the enlightened 60’s in order to make way for all-important office space. The old Granada Cinema can be seen on the left, this too bit the dust for offices. The Baptist Church and a few of the Edwardian buildings further up on the left side remain, as does the curved Prudential building you can see at the end of the road.
