Spencers Wood Local History Group

The Spencers Wood Local History Group are a study and research group. The aim of the group is to record and retain as much history as there is so much housing development going on in the locality.

The group consists of (left to right) Lesley Rolph, Patricia Green, Margaret Bampton, Mary Wheway, Jackie Blow, Jeannie Brice and Sheila Davis (not present).

The group has published three successful books about the area and have more planned. You can learn more about them via their website at www.swlhg.co.uk

Flooded fields on the Arborfield Road

I remember reading somewhere that the name of the neighbouring Shinfield village was a corruption of 'Shine Field' and it's easy to see why. This is a common sight along the roads of the area in the wetter months of the year. They tell us Spring is on the way and I hope they're right :)
