Description: EXTRA INFOPHOTO SWINDON THE GROVES COMPANY INN 22-23 FLEET STREET THE GROVES COMPANY INN IS J D WETHERSPOON'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE LOCAL DRINKING SCENE. FLEET STREET NEVER WAS THE MOST PLEASANT PART OF THE TOWN CENTRE BUT IN RECENT YEARS IT HAS BECOME EVEN LESS SO WITH THE MUSHROOMING OF VAST DRINKING PALACES SUCH AS THIS AIMED AT YOUNGER PEOPLE. NOW THIS HAS BECOME AN AREA WHICH PRUDENT PEOPLE WOULD BE WISE TO AVOID AT NIGHT AND EVEN SOMETIMES IN PARTS OF THE DAY. THE PUB WAS OPENED ON THE 21ST MARCH 2001 AT THE TIME WHEN THESE HUGE PUBS AND BARS WERE FIRST STARTING TO EMERGE HERE AND IN NEARBY BRIDGE STREET AND FARINGDON ROAD. THE NAME ORIGINATES FROM THE FACT THAT AT 22 FLEET STREET FOR MANY YEARS THERE USED TO BE A FIRM OF BREWERS AND WINE AND SPIRIT MERCHANTS CALLED GROVES & COMPANY. NEXT DOOR AT NO. 23 IN THE 1950'S & 1960'S WAS A BRANCH OF MACFISHERIES THE FISHMONGERS. THE TALL BUILDING BEHIND THE PUB IS WESTERN HOUSE. 2010 COPYRIGHT P L CHADWICK PHOTO PAPER THICKNESS NORMAL PHOTOGRAPH THICKNESS NOTES REF NO PLCV-5052 PHOTO SIZE SIZE 6 X 4 inches CONDITION: SOME CROPPING OR WHITE LINES TOP/BOTTOM MAY OCCUR DUE TO PHOTO RATIO WATERMARK IF PRESENT ON THE IMAGE WILL NOT APPEAR ON ITEM SENT TO YOU: NOTES This is a print and supply service for an image that is copyright P L Chadwick obtained from GEOGRAPH and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic License details available here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ MANY OTHER ITEMS ARE BEING ADDED TO MY SHOP DAILY
