Special Features of the Area
7.37 The listed telephone kiosk is the most distinctive and unusual piece of street furniture within the
Conservation Area and is well maintained. The telephone was originally sited by the lock and has subsequently
been moved to stand in a prominent position outside Boulters Hotel. The telephone kiosk is no longer in active
use.
7.38 There is a great deal of signage in the area, due to the busy road network and the level of tourist activity.
The signage tends to vary in style, with more traditional directional columns used throughout the parks and
public areas.
7.39 There are several informative plaques in the area, provided by the Maidenhead Civic Society, to
commemorate significant sites, such as Brunel’s Bridge and Guards Club Park. There is a further plaque along
the promenade, quoting a poem. The plaques provide an added interest to the visitor.
