  • 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.

  • Story of the Centenary Plaque

    I have traced Arthur Dick Tull, mentioned on your Centenary War Memorial, as I came across him while looking for WW1 soldiers at Thatcham and Midgham. He was born in Bucklebury in 1886, son of George and Lucy, and lived at The Slade, Bucklebury (census 1891, 1901), by 1911 he was living at The Bothy, Aldermaston. Confusingly he is listed as born at Tadley, but there is no Arthur Tull registered in Hants for that period.
