WINDSOR FOOTSTEPSTake a walking tour of Windsor with your mobile. Listen to a history of twelve sites in the town. Dial 020 7098 7050, and when prompted, enter the number of the building you want to know the history of.......and enjoy!
Windsor Footsteps is now live and leaflets are available at many places in the town. These include the Windsor Information Centre in the Central Station. The leaflet includes a map showing the location of each of the historic sites that are covered. The scripts were written for people standing in front of the site but you can also dial and listen from your own landline telephone anywhere in the world. From abroad dial +44 20 7098 7050 Windsor Footsteps is written and recorded by members of The Friends and sponsored by ComXo Waitrose Token SchemeThank youWindsor Museum Appeal has received a cheque for £264 from Waitrose as a result of their token scheme. We would like to thank all the members who helped and of course those anonymous members of the public who put their tokens in our box. We have been advised that we can apply again in about six months to a year so please keep an eye on those boxes at Windsor Waitrose.Windsor is a vibrant town with a long history.
Since 1991 members of the Friends have been campaigning for a dedicated exhibition centre with workroom, office and lecture room for the 6,000 artefacts and documents about the town and the rest of the Royal Borough which are in store in Windsor. Many tourists express surprise at the lack of a Museum they can visit, while our schoolchildren have to travel to other towns to study local history! There is a small exhibition in the local studies room in Windsor Library but this is not enough. There is also another local museum stored in boxes. This is Clewer Church Museum, which needs a home and we would like to provide one. If you are a local resident or hope to visit the town some day and think that the TOWN of Windsor should have a public exhibition of its history we need a donation from you now.
