Now Then from: Wokingham – A Pictorial History / J&R Lea

The picture on the right is a view from Market Place looking down Denmark
Street. The Wheatsheaf Inn is an early 19th century building. As can be seen it
was not tied to a brewery, selling both Allsopps Ales and Stollery Brothers
wines and spirits.

In 1900 a tramp pleaded guilty to breaking a glass door at the pub and was
committed to Reading Gaol for seven days in default of paying a fine and
costs.

Continue down Denmark Street and turn right into the Plaza:-
