Inspirational Out & About Night

Every year Slough Writers has an evening walk to inspire poetry or prose, ideally to be read out the next week at the accompanying manuscript night. This year we went round Burnham starting and finishing at our current venue (Burnham Working Men’s Club) and discovering the history of Burnham, including old meat hooks (see picture top-right), passages for pigs to be driven down, old coaching inns, a pub named after the 1864 visit of General Garibaldi, and even a Prime Minister involved in the abolition of the slave trade. The guided walk was provided thanks to Burnham and District Heritage Society. You can find their facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2228945880542762/
