Windsor and Royal Borough Museum's new 'Out and About' podcast series will take you on a tour of Windsor to discover the hidden histories and stories behind its buildings and landscape. To do this, they'll be sharing some wonderful clips from their oral history collection, because who best to tell you about Windsor than Windsorians themselves? In one episode, you will find out about the history of Windsor's shops and in particular, what some of the town's current shops used to be in their former lives. Along the way you will also hear a whole lot of reminiscing, so why not make a cup of tea (or beverage of choice) and join them on their journey into times gone by? You can listen to it here or find it on Spotify by searching ‘Out and About in Windsor’.
In just one minute, learn something new about the Royal Borough's past through an object from the museum's collection online.
