About Bracknell
Bracknell was classified as a new town in 1949,in the wake of World War II. It was built on the site of a village in the civil parish of Warfield in the Easthampstead Rural District, but virtually none of the original Bracknell remains. The location was favoured over White Waltham because the Bracknell site did not waste quality agricultural land. It also had the advantage of being on a railway line.
