The Southern Industrial Area, actually on the western edge
of Bracknell, provides the way out of the town into the small
rural area that separates Bracknell from the neighbouring town
of Wokingham.
Peacock Farm itself now looks rather run down, and is home
to a number of small businesses, including a pet and horse feed
shop.
The ICL-Fujitsu tower dominates the skyline of Peacock
Farm, but in reality is not very intrusive - just a reminder
that the town is only minutes away.
The industrial area of Amen Corner is also visible across
the fields, on the other side of the A329(M) and the main railway
line.
Most people see the pleasant fields of Peacock Farm from
their cars, as they head out of Bracknell towards Wokingham and
Reading....
... or as they return to Bracknell.
There are plans to build a large number of houses on this
farm land, to home Bracknell's ever increasing population. This
will all but remove the small amount of countryside between Wokingham
and Bracknell.
