Granny's home
I have never visited Druid's lodge, but have been brought up with stories of it.
It was for some years the home of my Grandmother. She was the daughter of Thomas lewis the Irish Race horse trainer.
Thomas was installed in Druids Lodge about 1907 by Lord Cunliffe who owned the 1913 Derby winner Aboyeur. Thomas was his trainer.
Granny went to school at the Gadolphin school for girls in salisbury. She was about 16 at this time.
Stephen Donaghue was one of the young jockeys there at the time. According to my granny, she taught him to write his name so as to be able to sign cheques !

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.

Small Arms Corps, Netheravon 1941 - 1945
I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with the exact address of the Small Arms Corps (I believe this is the Camp featured), that existed during the Second World War? My father was a weapons instructor stationed in Netheravon between 1941 and 1945, and I'd like to take him on a trip down memory lane in February. I believe the Military no longer exist in Netheravon, but if anyone has any memories of the Small Arms Corps (Infantry Heavy Weapons School), Middlesex Regiment or better still can remember Leslie Fordham (known as Wally), then please get in touch. He fondly talks of Jerry Seed and Georgie Best, and it would be wonderful not only to take him back ...read more here

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. There was a hilly field opposite that led up towards Grovely Wood. Chipperfield's Circus used to rest in this field when not on the road. Sometimes there were elephants there. Old Mr Chipperfield made me a wooden dog on wheels which we called Chipperdog. Lotmore was demolished many years ago and some late 50's council houses now stand on the ...read more here

Extracts From Stonehenge & Wiltshire books
This monument is an epic feat of prehistoric technology, bearing in mind the way the stones are put together and that the stones were brought from miles away. Trying to find the origins and significance of Stonehenge has captivated historians, archaeologists and laymen for centuries.

WILTSHIRE is a greatly underestimated county. To most people, it means Stonehenge and Salisbury, or somewhere that appears on a sign as travellers rush up and down the M4 motorway, heedless of what is around them. To the aficionado, the seeker of beauty or the traveller willing to do more than simply scratch the surface, Wiltshire offers a surfeit of enchantment: rolling downland, towns steeped in history, and glorious rivers - many of Southern-Englands best known rivers either rise in or pass through Wiltshire.

The importance of Salisbury to the military establishment
after the war can be seen in this picture of Fish Row, just
behind the Guildhall. A Pickfords lorry is fighting its way
along the narrow street, possibly heading for the Military
Tailors in the left foreground, or to the Servicemen’s Hostel
next door.

The Cathedral viewed from the south has been a favourite subject for
artists—including, of course, Constable. This particular view is from the
Old Mill at Harnham, and shows the Mill itself, the river and the water
meadows as well as the Cathedral. Harnham Mill is a very old building,
dating from around 1500. Like the first photograph in this book, the
timeless beauty of this scene has remained unchanged for more than half
a millennium.
