Remember When: Terry Wogan at St Mark's Hospital

1975: The phantom piper of Winter Hill was revealed.

Marlow schoolboy Ian Bremner, 14, got his first full set of bagpipes earlier in the year.

He liked to practise for several hours a day but made sure to do it away from his neighbours by taking to the woods and fields around the Thames Valley.

One of these areas was Winter Hill in Cookham Dean, where Ian could be heard on many an evening.

1975: Angry shopkeepers in Bridge Street protested to Berkshire County Council over a recently installed pedestrian crossing.

They said the change stopped cars from parking outside The Parade, with some of the nine shopkeepers saying they were losing up to £500 a week.

1985: Hundreds of people went to St Mark’s Hospital to see Terry Wogan officially open the new elderly care unit and enjoy an autumn fair,

The presenter was in good form as he entertained the crowds, but there were moments of seriousness too.

“With so many hospitals closing down, it is a pleasure to open one. We need hospitals 10 years ago and we need them now,” said Mr Wogan.

1990: Crowds filled the centre of Marlow as the carnival came to town.

The traditional float procession from Bobmore Lane to Higginson Park was followed by an afternoon of fun in the park itself, with stalls, sideshows and other attractions.

Marlow Community Association made £1,900 on the day.

1995: The Royal Borough funded a £10,000 drive to get the road safety message across to youngsters.

Four nursery schools in the Windsor and Maidenhead area were supplied with educational toys in the first phase of the new programme.

2000: Children at Burchetts Green Infants School made a patchwork quilt to mark the millennium.

An old-fashioned red telephone box like the one in the village, a replica of the Millennium Dome and a horse like the animal in the field beside the school were among the images the pupils chose to stitch on the quilt.

2000: Paralympic swimmer Jeanette Chippington picked up one of the country’s most coveted awards to sit alongside her Games medals.

The sportswoman received a Blue Peter badge when she gave presenter Liz Barker an in-pool lesson.

The swimmer took a break from her rigorous training regime to go down to the Magnet Leisure Centre to help the presenter improve her skills for the children’s television show.
