Title: The Herschel Arms, 22 Park Street, Slough. 1976 [Go to resource]
Description: The Herschel Arms is named after Sir William Herschel, private astronomer to King George III, who lived in Slough for many years and is buried in the local parish church of Upton. Sir William Herschel is remembered for his discovery of the planet Uranus, the first time that a planet that could not be seen with the naked eye had been discovered. The first record of the Herschel Arms was in 1864 when a license was granted to Robert Blake Pearce. In the 1871 Census he was also described as a carpenter and joiner. It was not uncommon for publicans to have other occupations.
