I got a map from Slough Museum (cheap, they were selling them off!) years ago which showed all the field names that dad knew, I gave it to the family historians, aunt Joan and uncle Ken (Kennedy) dunno what happened to it, they're dead now and I've been unable to find another copy and no-one knows what I'm talking about! Can anyone help?

Hello Dave, I think the map you mention was created by Michael Bailey who died a couple of years ago. He was related to the Headington Family of Cippenham Court Farm and was very knowledgeable about Cippenham. He gave me a copy of his map of the old field names (along with three others he had drawn). I'm pretty sure I can find it in which case I will arrange to have a copy sent to you.

I am fascinated by these 'then & now' maps, but cannot see the link to access them
