The town's population increased and new shops and businesses grew to serve the middle-class workers. In the late 1800's many new streets appeared in the town centre along with both elegant and working-men's houses on the outskirts. We are delighted to feature these post cards of Maidenhead bought in 1944 by George Wilson. George was part of a US Army unit stationed close to Maidenhead as part of the World War II effort. I bought them in May before we went to Normandy and carried them through the war.
