fever hospital later extended into nurses hostel for cliveden

this part of the old (dry) gravel pit was used for burying household rubbish at this time, horse drawn dustcarts were stored in a barn in the pit which burnt down later

Praobably the line of where Ivy Crescent was built in 36, on the edge of the part of the gravel pit that was used in the 20's to dump household rubbish, dad and his neighbours bought more of the "pit" adding it to their backgardens, it always dipped down, later when they built houses in Horwoods "field" (which covered the rubbish later) they had to dig down quite a way and unearthed all kinds of rubbish, I'm sure I remember stags antlers!

Some kinda gravel loading plant here, throws a shadow, this is somewhere near where Aspros sports ground, then Aspro Nicholas factory, now Sara Lee was/is

Dry gravel pit (dry cos it was on the edge of one of the old Thames flood planes)later became Slough Council tip for rubbish and surplus materials, after WWII these were a lot of Anderson Shelter bits, great for building "camps" Boarlands Close and Avebury etc houses all built on it now

This may well be the line of a mineral railway from the gravel pit to the Trading Estate,used when it was being built,possibly not mechanised, my dad and his sis used to play on the trucks as kids
