History talk at Bracknell Library

Join Colin Bird, Chair of The Bracknell Forest Society for a fascinating talk exploring the vision and legacy of Britain’s post-war new towns.

After the devastation of World War II, there was a powerful hope that peace would bring the opportunity to build a better, fairer society. The new towns movement promised an escape from the challenges of the past - overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, and pollution - offering a bold, Utopian vision of the future.

Come along and discover how Utopian ideals shaped the towns we know today - including Bracknell.
