Wiltshire memories

Chipperfield's Circus

In fact these are not Lotmore Cottages, which were along the road that leads to the River Wylye, immediately left in the photograph past the front of the Royal Oak pub on the left, about 50 metres down on the right.  I know this because I lived in Lotmore as a small boy, in the first of two semi detached cottages....

Dad''s panic

Dad was village copper for several years (our old Police House is now "Peelers" in Thorneydown Road) and had a number of people he got on well with.  He tended not to panic too often but one day a message came through that had him rush out in panic because of the loss of one of his friends, Pat Pocock from...

Visiting history

My husband was stationed here in WWII, and married a girl from Bulford. They divorced but the family ties are strong.
We met the first wife's family and had a wonderful time. Also the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Vets had a great time revisiting and reminiscing.

Extracts From Druids Lodge & Wiltshire books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Druids Lodge, inspired by Frith photos.

Devizes Town and City Memories

This view shows the main features of the Market Place - the fountain, the Market Cross and the Market Hall. The Market Place is uncharacteristically empty.

This is an extract from Devizes Town and City Memories.

Devizes Town and City Memories

The present-day Market Place was formed from the outer bailey of the castle. This particular view shows the curve of the street: this echoes the line of New Park Street and Monday Market Street, which follow the castle's banks and ditches. The buildings and shape of the skyline have changed little.

This is an extract from Devizes Town and City Memories.

Devizes Town and City Memories

This view clearly shows the iron benches, railings and posts and the ornate street lamps. The earth road is in marked contrast to today's tarmac surface.
