Sir John Gibson
Craft Union, a community-based organization, operates a lively local venue that offers a variety of entertainment options including live music, karaoke, and Sky Sport broadcasts. The venue features a spacious bar area with comfortable seating options, including bar stools and tables. The bar serves a selection of beverages, including the popular ale, Doom Bar. The venue also pays tribute to the local history and notable figures. One such figure is John Watson Gibson, a former resident of Stanwell Place who played a significant role in designing the Mulberry harbours. These harbours were instrumental in the success of the D-Day landings during World War II. Gibson resided in Stanwell Place until his passing in 1947. In addition to the historical significance, the venue also showcases the evolution of the local area. The walls are adorned with pictures depicting the transformation of Stanwell and the development of the nearby Heathrow Airport over the years. This venue not only provides entertainment but also serves as a testament to the rich history and development of the local community.
