'Bracken-covered Hiding Place' is the meaning of the Saxon word, 'Bracknell'. Very little of the original Bracknell is left since Bracknell was designated a new town in 1949. The area was chosen over White Waltham because the Bracknell site avoided building on good quality agricultural land and it had the advantage of being near a railway line. The town centre is classic, 1960s' design and there are plans for regeneration to include new shops and facilities.
