MADE IN MAIDENHEAD

Our opening exhibition at the new Heritage Centre is an eye-opener, celebrating local industries past and present.

From aeroplanes to boats, bricks to beer, Brylcreem to motor cars, toothpaste to gearboxes, Hammer films to Black & Decker drills, local industry has been hugely varied.

Visitors will be astonished to discover what kind of things are STILL made in Maidenhead.
