I am ordering a copy of this picture to send to my dear childhood friend, Peta Fenner. Peta celebrates her 50th birthday soon and it is quite possible that both her and I are in the photo. We would spend many days of our summer holidays playing in the paddling pool. The big pool was always cold and... [more]

I was born in Warminster, in 1972, in what was known at the time as The Strawberry House! My Dad had painted it quite a deep pink, when he bought it.
44 Boreham Rd, that's where I was actually born, my lovely family home.
My Dad was a well known painter and decorator, Bob 'The Brush' Woollard, and my Mum, Peg,... [more]

As a child in the late 1950's and early 1960's, I and a whole bunch of mates used to go to the Regal cinema on Saturday mornings. We went through the town park as the most direct route and would often stop off on the way back to fish for minnows and sticklebacks in the lake.
During the winter of... [more]

The Tea Rooms are charming and re thatching has taken place (every 10 years), the food served by the charming lady was superb and affordable. I glanced into the lovers nook and it is very cosy, afterwards a pleasant walk around Shearwater which is but a few yards out of the front door. Food for the soul and eye !!

Well not my memories exactly, but those from my father's diaries. He was John Welch and married a Peggie Richens who had grown up in Warminster. They married in the Minster Church and he left immediately for the war. When he came back he was stationed in Westbury for a while and wanted to make the area his home. He spoke... [more]

My mother lived in Warminster as a child and had lots of friends in the area. One worked at Longleat and she lived in what was called 'The Inkwell House' in the grounds. We went for tea. There were lots of very strange things pickled in jars & they weren't onions! The long grass outside was full of crickets. What happened... [more]

Devizes Town and City Memories
The thatched building on the left is early 17th-century wattle and daub with some brick infill, and was an alehouse called the Lamb. Adjoining it was a boot maker, and the projecting part was a separate residence.

Devizes Town and City Memories
This shows a very deserted unmade road leading into town, more familiar to motorists today, who have to slow down at the top in order to join the Bath Road into Devizes. Over the years the foliage and the soil on both sides has been cut back to keep the problem of earth slippage under control.

Devizes Town and City Memories
This idyllic scene could be taken straight out of a Hardy novel. Unfortunately, the cottage was demolished in 1960. The pond is on the right, hidden by the trees.
