The Talbot Hotel was situated at 83 High Street.. A pub
called the Star Inn was on this site since at least the 18th century. It was
rebuilt in 1885 in its present form, the name changing to the Talbot Hotel
in 1929. This pub is
now used by an estate agents. |

I stayed at the The Talbot in the Early Sixties
B&B. I remember the Landlord and his wife he said he was an Ex Flying Boat
Pilot. I believe his name was Bill Patterson. |

This pub is mentioned in a song by Robyn Hitchcock "Winchester" |
One by one by one we saw the stars
One by one by one they closed the bars
And one by one we all went back to Mars
From Winchester
One by one the evening shadows fell
One by one by one we heard the bell
And I remember more than I can tell
From Winchester
Maybe there's no one there at all
Maybe there's no one left who cared
Maybe there's no one there but Paul
Living in Shawford after all these years
Standing in the Talbot in my flares
Far out Phil and Pat were always there
And if you go then, baby, I don't care
Winchester
Water meadows curling 'round the hill
Water meadows curling 'round the hill
Bodies in the stream, I see them still
Bodies in the stream, I see them still
And I don't want to hurt you, but I will
This is Winchester
Maybe there's no one there at all
Maybe there's no one left who cared
Maybe there's no one there but Paul
Living in Shawford after all these years
Walking through the dark
Towards your door
Walking through the dark
Towards your door
Listen to the groovers how they snore
Listen to the groovers how they snore
And I just didn't know what love was for
In Winchester
In Winchester
There's nowhere at all (Nowhere)
In Winchester
There's nowhere at all (Nowhere)
