Sunnymeads

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sunnymeads is a village which has now been swallowed by neighbouring village Wraysbury. Although the two are now considered as one, there are many indications that show that Sunnymeads was once an independent hamlet. These include the Sunnymead Stores, once a post office and off-license but now a tanning boutique, and Sunnymeads railway station, a little station which still serves the village today. The station is unmanned and a permit to travel is required to be purchased.

Sunnymeads was one of the favourite destinations for Londoners both during and after the war. Londoners would come and build small shacks on the river. Few of these original houses still exists as they have been demolished and newer, bigger houses have been built in their place, although there are still some prime examples of this war architecture down both The Avenue and The Drive in Sunnymeads and Old Ferry Drive and Ousley Road in Wraysbury.

Those who live in Sunnymeads, or as they're called locally "Sunnymeadians", consider themselves to be better than those who live in Wraysbury and there have been many clashes between the two villages over disputes in the last few years.
