A Very Short History of Crowthorne
Pre-1856
Crowthorne is a quiet, unremarkable hamlet about which little is known other than there was another local hamlet here with the unfortunate name, Holk's Bottom.
1856
Queen Victoria lays the foundation stone of Wellington College.
1859
The college opens its doors to pupils, the sons of military officers killed in the line of duty.
1859
Crowthorne Station opens bringing masters and pupils to the growing town.
1863
Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum opens close to the town with the arrival of the first patient in May. After 15 escapes within the first seven years, the walls were raised to 16 feet. Later 'guests' include 'Mad' Frankie Fraser, Ronnie Kray, Roderick Maclean (who attempted to assassinate Queen Victoria), James Kelly (reputed by some to have been Jack the Ripper) and Charles Bronson.
1860s
A bitter political battle takes place between locals after proposals are put forward to rename the town Albertville after Queen Victoria's late husband.
1947
CF Taylor opens in a shed. The small engineering firm later becomes part of British Aerospace.
1960
Wellington College becomes co-ed. Famous alumni include; comedian Rory Bremner, actor Sir Christopher Lee, authors Sebastian Faulks and George Orwell, presenter Peter Snow, Pop Idol winner Will Young and England rugby international and son-in-law of Richard Madely, James Haskell.
1972
The first Carnival is held and is still going strong, delighting local families to this day.
