Page 24 - Wokingham's Closed Pubs and Breweries as A5 booklet

This booklet has been produced and paid for by the Wokingham Society,
which is a Civic Society established in the 1960s to combat the threat to the
town's buildings and facilities from widespread and often thoughtless
redevelopment. Although it has not always been possible to prevent the loss
of individual landmarks, the Society's voice has been significant in helping to
preserve many local historical features and to ensure that development has
been sensitive to the town's heritage.

The Society's aims are clearly set out in the constitution which is available on
the website www.wokinghamsociety.org.uk but its main purposes may be
summarised as:

• Encouraging the conservation of the character and traditions of
Wokingham as an historic market town

• Promoting study of the history of Wokingham and interest in our heritage,
for which this document supports

• Welcoming new development and business which enhance and invigorate
the town while constructively opposing measures that do not

• Proposing improvements to the town's environment and amenities.To
contact The Wokingham Society please email the Chairman: Peter Must or
the Secretary: Lucy Wickham, whose email addresses are available from the
website.
