Re Bodenham village
Our Gould family moved from Buggs Farm to Bodenham and lived next door to the Post Office in a long row of cottages that can still be seen from the main road.
They must have moved somewhen shortly after 1901, g granny was still living there in the late 1920s. One of the sons, Horace was working on a farm or farmed at Odstock in 1923 or thereabouts. Do you have any recollections of the family?
G Grandad died in 1923.Our 2nd cousin ( her father and Horace were brothers) aged 86 yrs, clearly remembers staying with Granny, and we have photographs taken of them outside the front door, Granny in long skirts down to here ankles.

the Town Path
Have seen this view many times in my younger days back in the late 1920s and early 30s, just after crossing the footbridge over the river, when on my way to see my dear old gran at Harnham. I can still remember the smell of the old mill.

Family connections to The Limes.
The house in the photograph is The Limes and has a family connection. A great uncle on my mother's side purchased this property. He was Alfred William Reynolds, who was an innkeeper in the White Hart pub opposite the house. He combined publican and greyhound coursing trainer for a period in the early 1900s. He is said to have purchased The Limes after training the winner of the Waterloo Cup in 1908. A photograph taken around this time shows outbuildings to the left and a thatched cottage.
The property is still in existence today and seems little changed. The White Hart is also still a pub and also little changed on the outside. Alfred's ...read more here

Extracts From Charlton All Saints & Wiltshire books
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.
An extract from from"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.
An extract from from"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.

This view clearly shows the details of the ornate pillars supporting the eagles, and the lion mask spouts. It also shows the fine building of E & W Anstie Ltd, the tobacco manufacturers, which is now a clothes shop. The wooden hut on the roof was used by aircraft spotters during the Second World War.

Note the lovely horse and coach, which belongs to the Bear Hotel.
