An excellent turnout today for our meeting at the Hall & Woodhouse public house in Wichelstowe, a satellite development to the south of Swindon. Building started in 2008 and it is estimated that 4,500 new homes will have been completed over a period of 20 years. Parts of the Berks and Wilts Canal running through the area have been restored, with plans to provide a vibrant canal side area.
The recently built pub was certainly interesting, with a narrow boat built into one wall, the interior lavishly decorated with canal and river paraphernalia and waterside views.

definitely a "boat house" ambiance |
