Description: | Guilloud was one of the oldest established outfitting and sports shops in Slough. A shop had been opened in William Street in 1909 by the family, who came from Geneva in Switzerland. The two sons, William and John, took over the business and decided to move from William Street to the east side of Farnham Road at 332-334 in 1963. After World War II the shop dealt in Government Surplus for which there was a big demand. As the business expanded the shop also supplied sports clothing, riding and saddlery equipment and Scout and Guide equipment. All of the shops pictured had closed by 1986.
Farnham Road is an important shopping area close to the Slough Estate with a diversity of retail outlets from small family run businesses to multi-nationals. | 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: | Deekay Insurance Brokers Travel and Estate Agents ; Abbey National Building Society ; Gilloud ; South of England.
