Wokingham pub history index
The 15th century building in the foreground has had a variety of uses, including (from the start of the 20th century) that of a public house called The Cricketers. By 2011, it had very recently been converted into a fish shop. The chimneys and front elevation have not changed much since the previous photograph and the bracket for the pub sign remains intact. *
