A Very Short History of Slough
1196
The first written mention of Slo appears in reference to an area of marshland between the villages of Upton-cum-Chalvey and Eton.
1336
More written records appear but the name is spelt 'Sloo'.
1437
To deepen the identity crises, the Normans rebrand the town Le Slowe in their writings.
1442
King Henry VI orders bricks from the 'Slowe, to help in the construction of Eton College.
1840
The first railway station opens. A population that stood at 2,405 in 1831 doubles in just 10 years.
1932
US chocolate magnate Frank Mars sends his son Forrest to set up a factory in Slough. It's on this the Mars Bar is invented. Further tasty inventions follow, Maltesers (1936), Opal Fruits (1960) and Twix (1967).
1951
Based in the same industrial Estate where both The Office and Thunderbirds will one day be filmed, the Road Research Laboratory create a new type of crossing to protect pedestrians, and the first 'zebra' crossing is painted onto Slough Road.
1963
In May the Adelphi Theatre is the starting point of the Beatles' first ever UK tour. Coincidentally, it's the Fab Four that will be responsible for the most famous photo of a zebra crossing in 1969.
2001
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant base their multi-award winning BBC sitcom The Office, in a paper merchant in the town.
