Slough – 6 Quirky Facts
- Green Green Grass of Slough..?
It’s true, the town has over 40 public parks and green spaces to explore once you’ve completed your move to Slough, including Herschel Park and Black Park Country Park with stunning walks, parking, a cafe, lake, play area and high ropes course for adrenalin junkies. - Work Rest & Play
Yes, Mars Bars were first made in Slough in 1932 by Forrest Mars, the company is now simply known as Mars although they also make Milky Ways, Twix, Snickers, Galaxy and own other big brands such as Uncle Benn’s, Whiskas, Pedigree Chum and Royal Canin. - Birthplace of the Beatles
Ok, this might be stretching things slightly but it is true that The Beatles began their first ever UK tour at the Slough Adelphi Theatre on May the 19th, 1963. They had their 1st No1 that month with “From Me To You”. - Zebra Crossing
The Road Research Laboratory which was based Slough used the town to conduct a number of road safety experiments. The aim was to create a safe place to cross that would be visible in all weathers (and later captured in one of the most iconic photos ever taken of The Beatles, yes, once again the Fab Four owe Slough). The result of these trials was the zebra crossing, the very first of which was created in 1951, sadly (for crossing aficionados) the original stripes are no longer there as the area has now been pedestrianised. - Thunderbirds Are Slough!
It’s true, the iconic head wobbling puppets the Thunderbirds, that were one of the most-loved kids shows of the 1960s were all filmed in a trading estate in Slough and its creator Gerry Anderson moved to the town in 1959. Stingray, Joe 90 and Captain Scarlet were all filmed at the same studios. - Wheelie Good Idea
Another invention the world has Slough to thank for is the wheelie bin. A local moulding company created wheeled bins to move waste through its factory in 1969. It was spotted by a health inspector who thought the idea would help cut down on back injuries for refuse collectors. He passed the idea on to his superiors who reputedly sat on it for 20 years before the idea was rediscovered and eventually wheelie bins were rolled out across the nation in the 1980s.

About Slough
Offering outstanding transports links to major towns and road networks, Sough also opens up with countryside, villages, country pubs and plenty of outdoor spaces to explore. The town is a hive of productivity and has given the world such joys as Mars Bars, the Thunderbirds and zebra crossings, it was also home to the inventor of snooker (Neville Chamberlain… No, not that Neville Chamberlain).
The first recorded mention of what was ‘Slo’ comes in 1196. Henry the III built a palace in the area but it wasn’t until the arrival of the railway (with a station built for no lesser figure than Queen Victoria from Windsor direct to Slough) that it went from stagecoach resting point to industrious town. It’s now home to a number of major companies including the much-loved Mars confectioners.
In 1918 an area of farmland was used as the site to repair military vehicles coming back from the frontline of WWI. This brought about the birth of Slough’s time as an industrial hub and the town is still very much known for its industrious nature and good transport links for the motorway and Heathrow Airport.
Leisure
There are two leisure centres and a trampoline park if you have a bounce in your step. Golfers are spoilt for choice with a number of golf clubs and golf centres all within easy reach. Foodies can explore the countryside and all kinds of hidden gems, farm shops, gastro pubs and artisan producers to sample. There is a theatre, two cinemas and over 40 public parks and green spaces for fun indoors and out.
Transport
Slough’s transport links are absolutely second to none. The M4 motorway gives access to London to the east (central London in under one hour) and Cardiff and the South West to the West. Frequent fliers can be at Heathrow Airport in 14 minutes, while trains to London Paddington take 15 minutes.
