History & Geography
Bracknell is a small town in Berkshire in England approximately 11 miles away from Reading and 28 miles west of London. Surrounding the town are Swinley Woods and Crowthorne Woods, two vast expanses of forest. Some of the areas covered by the town were previously in the parishes of Easthampstead, Warfield, Binfield and Winkfield. The town was the site of a favourite royal hunting lodge where Catherine of Aragon was banished while she awaited divorce. In the 18th and 17th centuries, the area was a notorious haven for highwaymen, including the famous Dick Turpin, who was said to drink at the Hinds Head Inn near the town. In 1949 Bracknell was named a new town and refurbished and expanded. Since the town has expanded far beyond what was originally intended, with the latest expansion having occurred in 2008.
Economy
Bracknell is home to a host of high-tech companies such as Fujitsu, Panasonic, Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, Cable and Wireless, Avnet Tech Solutions and DEC. The UK headquarters of the BMW Group are also based in the town, as is the head office of supermarket giant Waitrose. Bracknell was in the past a fairly significant manufacturing centre, however, most of this disappeared in the late 1980s. The Met Office also had a large presence in the town before moving to Exeter.
Culture
