Taste Winchester History Food & Beer Tours

10 December 2018

We were in the studio today with Misty Weaver from Taste Winchester History Food Tours. She told us how her food & beer tour company got started, walked us through what the tours include and even taught us a bit of history about some of the locations she features in her tours of Old Town Winchester. We talked about the beer tours that she’ll be offering in the future and the opportunity to book a private food tour with your own group of friends, family or co-workers.

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Friday April 3, 2020. Ever heard of a knocker-upper? Well, you're about to. The knocker-upper, or sometimes just a knocker-up was a profession in Britain and Ireland during the industrial revolution. Back then alarm clocks we not cheap or very reliable. The job of the knocker-upper was that of a living alarm clock. They went house to house waking the workers so they could get to the factory on time. They used a baton or short, heavy stick to knock on the clients' doors or a longer, light pole, often made of bamboo, to reach windows on higher floors. A few even used a pea-shooter. The knocker-up would be paid a few pennies a week. There was no snooze button either. The knocker-up would not leave a client's window until they were sure that the client was out of bed and fully awake. A knocker-upper would also use a 'snuffer outer' as a tool to wake up their snoozing clients. The snuffer outer was used to put out gas lamps which were lit at dusk and then needed to be extinguished at dawn. So you could hold both jobs, a knocker-upper and a snuffer-outer. There were large numbers of people carrying out the job, especially in larger industrial towns like Manchester. There is more to the story.
