Old Windsor is a small village of some 5000 souls situated approximately
three miles from the town of Windsor on the A308 Staines road. A journey
from the town to the village entails crossing the famous Long Walk in
the Great Park with views of the sweeping approach to the Castle on your
left and the Copper Horse statue at the other end of the walk.
On
entering the village the traveller comes across the licensed
establishment which was known for years as the Wheatsheaf and is now
called the Toby Carvery, Which has been the subject of many new
refurbishments themes and images over the years, The present Carvery and
Motel complex, completed two year's ago, was previously a Steak
House with a "Whacky Warehouse" for the kids. This move to a Motel poses
the question "Do adults in adultery have more fun than infants in
infancy?" But I digress.
The first turning from the Straight Road into St Luke’s Road has now
been pedestrianised and brick paved for the extent of the shopping
section. It is now necessary to take the next turning right after the
Toby Carvery, this leads back to St Luke’s road and bearing left at the
tee junction takes one up to the club premises. The right turn is
restricted to residents, delivery vehicles and handicapped shoppers and
contains a Cost Cutters a Co-Op,superstore a hairdresser and a florist, a dry cleaner's, an Italian
restaurant called Puntos, a Pizzeria and a Chinese Fish and Chip shop.
on turning left at the tee junction we find, on the right hand side of
the road, an overseas property agent, next to this is a painting shop
for Kids, then Albany Road, and on the opposite corner, Leo's hardware
shop. Next door to this shop is the subject of this web site.
