Heritage Open Day: Visit our website and come and see our office window display to learn about the interesting history of our home, Talbot House! This building previously housed the Talbot Hotel - in its day one of Winchester's best known coaching inns and pubs. The building was designed and built for the Chesil Brewery in 1885 by prominent local architect and alderman Thomas Stopher, who was responsible for several of the city's most significant late Victorian buildings. It features many classic period design details -- from the steep, gabled roofs to the tall sash windows and brick and flint elevations -- as well as a distinctive double storey corner window that has become a familiar part of the local streetscape.
