Maidenhead Heritage Centre extends 'Toys of Yesteryear' exhibition

There is still time to take a trip down memory lane and see the ‘Toys of Yesteryear’ as Maidenhead Heritage Centre extends its exhibition until the end of the month.

The seasonal exhibition showcases toys that are a minimum of 25 years old, with some even dating back to the 1930s and 1940s.

All of the toys have been provided on loan by residents in the Royal Borough.

The display includes toys such as teddy bears, toy soldiers, dinky toys, Sindy dolls and Meccano.

The exhibition will remain open at the centre in Park Street until Saturday, January 31.
