Moving to Slough?
Immortalised by John Betjeman in a poem that begins “Come friendly bombs, and fall
on Slough!”, and brought into popular culture by The Office, Slough is in desperate
need of an image makeover. The site of numerous trading estates and vast concrete
car parks, it is overshadowed by its gargantuan neighbour London. Even its name
is drab – the most exciting reason behind it is that it was named after the sloe
bushes that used to grow wild on the land, but it is more likely named for the marshy
bogs that cover the area. The only part of it that is mentioned in the Domesday
Book is a wood for two hundred pigs.
In fact, the town has been growing unostentatiously since the eleventh century.
In the mid-seventeenth century stagecoaches started to pass through and in 1727
it became the second stage to change horses on the road from London out of London.
In 1786 the astronomer William Herschel moved to the town. Using a forty foot long,
forty-nine inch reflecting telescope, he and his sister Caroline produced the first
true map of the universe. Nonetheless, Slough continued to languish in obscurity:
even the construction of a railway station did little to improve matters and the
town continued to be known as a source of bricks, or a place to stay if all the
hotels in neighbouring Windsor were full. The good side of this was that it became
a popular retreat for those tired of London: Charles Dickens rented a house there
for two years, where he hid away with his mistress.
Only when the Grand Junction Canal spur arrived in 1882 did the town’s fortunes
begin to change. Suddenly the sneered-at brick making industry boomed and so did
the town’s population. After the First World War a large tract of agricultural land
was developed into an army motor repair depot, used to store all the vehicles coming
back from the Front. The Government sold this to the Slough Trading Estate company
in 1920 and in 1925 an industrial estate was established there. this was to change
the town’s fortunes forever: migrants flocked from all over the UK to work there
and large housing estates were built to accommodate them and their families. Since
then its success has only grown.
There isn’t an enormous amount to see or do in Slough. The Slough Museum gives a
thorough introduction to the town. Stoke Park is a stunning old stately home, now
turned into a top notch golf club which played host to the most thrilling game of
golf in movie history, when James Bond defeated Goldfinger on the eighteenth hole.
The Mars factory offers tours, which are great fun for chocolate addicts. The oldest
building in town is St Laurence’s Church, a Norman church that belonged to a farmer
for four hundred years before it was restored in 1751. Other than that, most activities
revolve around the shopping malls.
That’s Slough. Glamorous? No. Crucial to the south of England? Absolutely.
