    Twickenham Facts – Did you know…

    1. Trend Settlers
      The earliest indications of people moving to Twickenham were Neolithic lodges. Roman occupation and Saxon settlers followed.
    2. Twick Tax
      The first written record appeared in the 8th century when Twickenham was ceded to the Bishop of London “for the salvation of our souls”, although collecting taxes was probably his main motivation.
    3. Ill Repute
      In the 17th century locals wrote to the Mayor of London complaining ‘…that there is lately fixed near the Shore of Twickenham on the River Thames a Vessell made like a Barge and called the Folly wherein diverse loose and disorderly persons are frequently entertained.’
    4. Proper Stinker
      Joshua Ward set up Great Vitriol Works to produce ‘oil of vitriol’ also known as sulphuric acid. The production process created an egg-like stench that hung over the town.
    5. Boom Town
      However, that wasn’t the worst business in town. The world’s first industrial gunpowder production facility had an even greater impact. Several explosions flattened buildings, killing workers and bystanders. One explosion was so severe it could be felt in Reading, 34 miles away.
    6. A Bit Arty
      Twickenham has long attracted artistic types, famous names to have lived here include; Charles Dickens, JMW Turner, Alfred Tennyson, Noel Coward, Brian May, Pete Townsend, Jane Horrocks, and Ian Broudie.
    7. The King
      After the assassination of his father, King Carlos of Portugal, 18-yr-old Manoel became King Manoel II. When revolution broke out, the young king fled to Twickenham, his mother’s birthplace. He became a local celebrity, even judging flower shows.
    8. Funny Shaped Balls
      ‘Twick’ is best known for being the home of English rugby. The location was originally a cabbage farm and fans still affectionately call the world’s most celebrated rugby stadium, ‘the cabbage patch’.
    9. Scot Rod
      Rod Stewart used to busk at Twickenham Station before finding fame with The Small Faces.

    Leisure

    The town has its own museum as well as being home to the National Rugby Museum and famous sports stadium. As you’d expect, the Thames also dominates much of local life, with rowing clubs and pleasure launches, plus the riverside lined with plenty of great places to eat, drink or just watch the world drift by.
