18. The Crown, 29 Peach Street, existed in 1910, now Harringtons hair
dressers.

This pub was very small with
a minute bar, and was set
back. It was mentioned in the
Tithe Apportionments in
1835. A report in 1907 states
that the pub could only be
reached through a yard,
which led to a saw mill and
other premises. A that time
with a profit of less than a £1
a week, the pub struggled.

This parade of shops, including the ex-Woolworths store to the right, was
redeveloped in the 1930s.

19. The Nags Head, 30 Peach Street, pre-1770, then The New Rose, 1772
– 1788, now Wokingham Forces Support.

The opening of the New Rose
was mentioned in the Berkshire
Chronicle in 1772. It was a 15th
century timber framed building
opened by a John Chaplin. It was
closed by his widow in 1788
when she had the opportunity to
lease the original Rose. The site
was later shops.
