Wiltshire memories
Many fond memories of Longleat over the last 46 years: the freedom we all enjoyed as villagers to roam across the estate - the sixth Marquess was always very generous in this respect. The remains of the American hospital were still much in evidence then; dad would drive the car to one of the old stone ramps so that he could... [more]

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.

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.

Extracts From Horningsham & Wiltshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Horningsham, inspired by Frith photos.
This row of three cottages is in Church Street. They are set slightly below road level, and are reached by steps down. The thatch remains in excellent condition, and so do the porches.

This is an extract from Frome Photographic Memories.

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.
