Description: | The Slough Working Men's Social Club and Western Public House, together with the other shops in this photograph, were demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Brunel Bus Station and the widening of Wellington Road.
The Directories for Slough give the earliest reference to a working mens club in 1895 as being the Slough & District Liberal & Radical Club at 14 William Street, with Thomas Templeman as steward. In 1907 this became the Slough Liberal Club with William Norris as Secretary and William Dawes as steward. By 1911 this is again listed as the Slough & District Working Men's Liberal & Radical Club. In 1954 14 & 16 William Street is listed as Slough Working Men's Social Club. The caption on the photograph states that the Slough Working Men's Social Club eventually moved to Church Street. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | Social Clubs Slough Working Mens Social Club | Temporal: | start=1960-01-01; end=1970-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Reg Harrison | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
