Description

Here you cross the major new road called William Heelas Way.
You are in the first of the housing areas of the South Wokingham Strategic Development, known as Montague Park, after Montague House in Broad Street, Wokingham.
William Heelas was a wool merchant who came to Wokingham in the 1790s and sent up a trade which, in due course, led to the establishment of Heelas department stores in Wokingham and Reading.
The path on the other side of the road runs through Buckhurst Meadows, named after nearby Buckhurst House, which was William Heelas’s home from 1840 until his death in 1864. It is now the Hilton St Anne’s Manor hotel.
