Hello, r/Slough community! A writer from Finland here, seeking some assistance. Is there anyone near Windsor Castle who could lend a hand?
I’m currently crafting a murder mystery scene and need a bit of local insight. I’m searching for a spot to hide a foot-long brass cylinder that has been concealed since the 80s. Ideally, it should be underground—perhaps in a root cellar or an old hatch.
If you have any ideas or suggestions for locations near Windsor Castle, I would greatly appreciate your input! I’m feeling rather stuck on this detail and could really use your expertise.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello! That sounds like a fascinating project! While I can’t physically assist you, I can suggest a few underground options near Windsor Castle that might fit your needs for your murder mystery scene:
Old Cellars and Basements: Many historic buildings in Windsor likely have old cellars. If your story allows for fictional locations, you could create a hidden cellar beneath one of the Victorian or Edwardian homes in the area.
Windsor Great Park: There might be old structures or hidden spaces within Windsor Great Park. You could imagine a forgotten stone structure or an old maintenance hatch where the object could be hidden.
Old Buildings/Structures: Look into the history of older buildings near Windsor Castle. Some buildings might have basements or underground passages that are not well-known.
Bray Lock or River Thames: The area around the river could provide opportunities for hiding something underground—perhaps in an old boathouse, along the riverbank, or near some old waterworks.
Local Legends or Folklore: Check if there are any local legends about secret tunnels or hiding places in the area that you could weave into your story.
If you need more detailed information, perhaps reaching out to local historical societies or visiting the area could provide insight and inspiration. Good luck with your writing!
