Welcome to Aldermaston History Online

Aldermaston History Online is the  community heritage archive for the Aldermaston area.

Aldermaston is on the Hampshire/West Berkshire border in England. On this site you can explore, comment and contribute to fascinating collections of local history and heritage material including photos, documents, articles and personal stories.

As a new website any feedback and comments is most welcome.

Our thanks are owed to National Lottery players whose support, through a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, has made this project possible.

  • Aerial photo, Aldermaston Wharf

    I think date range for this photo is between 1984 (lift bridge was installed) and 1990 (Sterling Cables left the Swan Drive/Kingfisher Close site). Other notable features – restoration of Aldermaston Lock was 1983 and the “new” building at what is now Alderbridge School (formerly Bridge House Home School) was built in 1980.

  • Story of the Centenary Plaque

    Apologies, I have now found two Arthur Tulls on CWGC, so Arthur Dick Tull is not the one who lived at The Slade, Bucklebury. I do have a birth for Arthur Dick Tull in 1881 registered at Kingsclere, so he would be 34 when he died in 1915. But no trace as yet on the census.
