A Very Short History of Theale

Overs Removals Vans

3300 – 1200 BCE

The first signs of settlement in Theale date it back to the Bronze Age.

500 – 1000 CE

During the Middles Ages, gravel from local pits was used to form roadways that crossed the area allowing travel through the wetlands. This brought passing traffic that helped the town flourish.

1487

Built in this year, the Old Lamb Inn claims to be one of the UK's most haunted pubs. According to local legend, it was also a regular watering hole for the highwayman Dick Turpin.

Vintage Removals Receipt

1643

In September, Parliamentarian troops heading back to London were attacked by Prince Rupert's troops, during the English Civil War. Over 1,000 men were reportedly killed and buried at what was darkly named Deadman's Lane.

1723

The Kennet Navigation canal opens, bringing barges, goods and employment to the village.

1794

A second canal, the Kennet and Avon Canal increases the importance of Theale as a trade route.

1841

The great engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel visits the town, ironically, he'll play a part in its decline.

1847

The railway arrives. Brunel's incredible engineering reduces transport time, sending canals and the towns and villages relying on them into a financial tailspin.

1974

Having been plagued by heavy traffic, the opening of the M4 motorway in 1974 returns the village back into a quiet, rural location bordered by idyllic waterways and tasty pubs.
