[edit]

Your "Cheers for correct grid ref" mollifies me so I am prepared to give you one - you obviously did not actually follow the map source link! Since you don't do Grid Refs, we will try it with road names. There are quite a lot of Clewers on my paper map:

  • SU954772 - Clewer Village - Clewer Park (road)
  • SU956774 - Clewer St Andrew - White Lillies Island off Mill Lane and Clewer Court Road
  • SU959772 - Clewer St Stephen - Stovell Road / Vansittart Road
  • SU962766 - Clewer Within - Clewer Fields near Alma Road / Clarence Road
  • SU953761 - Clewer New Town - Clewer Avenue and Bailey Close off Hatch Lane
  • SU948762 - Clewer Green - St Andrew's Avenue
  • SU943758 - Clewer Hill - Camm Avenue

(Streetmap gives the best view on the above links.)

So give me a clew - what grid ref should be used in the article? If none of the above, give me a street junction which you consider the centre of Clewer. -- RHaworth 02:54, 2005 July 19 (UTC)

You're right, I don't/didn't do Grid Refs, but I'm learning now (thanks to you!)

  • SU954772 is the appropriate Grid Ref and I've updated the article. For your help and patience, thank you.
    • My first reaction was 'that is too far north' but checking the old-maps map, that is spot on for Clewer Village. But note that these two old-maps links: [1] and [2] both show "C L E W E R" in two styles of big letters nearly a mile further south. I think one will be a civil parish; the other is ? and I'm not sure which is which. Clearly Clewer was quite an important place name. -- RHaworth 16:30, 2005 July 19 (UTC)

The Swan

[edit]

Text to add: The Swan in Clewer, Windsor And includes an external link (for now) to: https://theswanwindsor.co.uk/

Reason: The Swan is an 18th century coaching inn that serves the local community of Clewer, Windsor. It is the last remaining pub in the area and is actually owned by the local community (>200 investors). It is a core part of local life in the Clewer area. It is also unique that it is both a pub AND also hosts a sixth form school onsite. It is also home to the Windsor Cycle Hub, a charity aimed at encouraging cycling within Windsor and surrounding environs. Each year we support a local charity (voted by the local community), in 2021 it was The Windsor Homeless Project. The pub won a Great British Pub Award in 2020 and has been listed in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide for the last two years. A great accomplishment as we only got the keys in Feb, 2019. We would love the Wikipedia community to learn about us.

My relationship to The Swan: I am a volunteer and also one of the investors. I look after all the online communications free of charge (ie I receive NO salary or incentives whatsoever for doing this), this includes the website listed above. I am currently drafting up a wiki page for The Swan so that we can inform people of the overall history of The Swan and of our unique offering and situation and once published, will change to link to that. TBH this page is proving much harder than originally thought as much of the history was lost when the building lay derelict for three years before the community took over.

If you are interested: Please have a look at the website. It will show how we are renovating The Swan, the pub, the school, the community, et al. You could even subscribe to our weekly newsletter ;) I do hope you find your way to including this listing as The Swan is a key part of Clewer and in my view, a serious omission from the Clewer page.
