Just south of the Band Stand in the centre of town, is Charles Square. This recently revamped square now boasts a clock fountain, which supposedly tells the time every five minutes. In the summer months, it provides a lot of entertainment for children trying to dodge the random fountain jets!
On High Street at the edge of Charles Square is another building to have survived the redevelopment of the 1960's. This small cottage is now occupied by Boots Opticians.
Passing through Charles Square, we find Princess Square, an indoor shopping centre on two levels. The inside of the shopping centre has been refurbished over the past year.
Opposite the entrance to Princess Square, and often overlooked, is Bracknell's War Memorial and the Catholic Church of St Joseph.
High Street continues west from the Band Stand. Here are found a variety of shops, including Bentalls department store.
Just opposite Bentalls and next to MacDonalds is The Bull public house, one of the few reminders of Bracknell past.
