SUMMARY:Connecting the Pubs in Emlyn Square by John Stooke
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting some of the alehouses that loomed large in the lives of the GWR community \nWith the coming of the railway to Swindon in 1841\, the locomotive repair Works and all that was to follow from 1843\, there came an unprecedented explosion of the working population. “New Swindon” was first centred on GWR’s “factory village” but accommodation could not keep pace with demand\, many speculative estates of terraced houses started to spring up close-by. The burgeoning\, heavily worked population needed places to drink – let off steam if you will! \nJoin us for a talk by John Stooke\, Author of Last Orders. Last Orders is the result of four years of meticulous research by John – and hours spent writing in The Blunsdon Arms. Well it would have to be a pub where John worked wouldn’t it? \nThis event is being hosted by Swindon Heritage Preservation with support of the Royal Agricultural University at the Cultural Heritage Institute. \nPlease enter Via the main entrance in Bristol Street Car Park\, Doors Open at 16:20.
