A lucky find Chestermans Farm.

Having started to work with a company in Fleet I needed to find somewhere to live that was commutable both to work and our home in Devon. Having spent a whole weekend looking at various properties in the surrounding area without any luck we had one more left on the list to look at before heading home again.  To our delight... [more]

Wiltshire memories

No 10

My name's David Meacham - When I was very small I used to live in the cottage on the right - Number 10 Bremhill.
It was a wonderful place to be a child - few cars then of course - and the freedom to roam the village without any fear.
The rooms were very small and on a slope - great... [more]

Derry Hill, Wiltshire

I did not live in Derry Hill, but rented a cottage there, Primrose Cottage, in 1990. I was introduced to Wiltshire in the 1980s by my husband's mother who had been based near Pewsey in the Land Army during the Second World War. When I first visited Wiltshire it was to visit Avebury and later to stay at Chisenbury with people... [more]

Dr Joseph Priestley

Having been a resident of Calne from 1944 to 1962, I often walked across this little bridge, mainly on the way to the recreation ground. There used to be (and possibly still is) a plaque commemorating Dr Priestley's discovery of Oxygen in this place. I believe the pond was situated just behind Harris' factory but when I last visited... [more]

The White Horse, Cherhill

At one time a favourite place for picnics. Can anyone remember when the RAF lads tipped tins of paint over the white horse turning it red, white and blue?

Wiltshires

At the back of this photograph is Calne Free Church and just in front is "Wiltshires" the grocery shop.  My father William John Cook worked there for many years.  I can see him now neatly wrapping parcels in brown paper and tying them up with string.  Amongst the many items sold here were large tins of broken biscuits and I have...

Station Road

I have very fond memories of walking up this road in order to catch the old steam train to Chippenham, but alighting at Black Dog so that we could visit my grandparents who lived in Stanley. In younger days, I would paddle in the canal which partially ran alongside this road and catch tiddlers in a jam jar. Later... [more]

My memories of Calne as a small boy

Please visit www.moonrakers.com/memories.pdf where you can download my humorous account of my rather mischievous childhood in Calne in the 50's and 60's, called MEMORIES OF CALNE.

A copy of this book is lodged with the town library.

Extracts From East Tytherton & Wiltshire books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about East Tytherton, 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.
