School times
I used to attend the local Ogbourne St. George school where Mr. Bernard Crooks was the headmaster and Mrs. Twelftree was my teacher. There used to be a kitchen attached to the school but that has since been changed to a library.

Wartime Marlborough
Sent out of London during the Blitz with my mother, grandmother and sister, a visit to the Polly Tea Rooms was for special occasions only. We loved it when the parents of the boys from Marlborough School came to visit and brought their sons to Polly's for tea (even though we were only 5 or 6!). Happily, the tea rooms are still there, whilst the Merlin on the other side and at the other end of the High Street has disappeared.

Wartime Marlborough
Evacuated with my sister and mother, one of our favourite walks was to Treacle Bolley where we collected rose hips which were then sent away to be made into a source of vitamin C and distributed to those who needed it. On a visit to Marlborough (from London) a few years ago, I was unable to find Treacle Bolley nor anyone who had ever heard of it. Is there anyone out there who knows this lovely spot? (April 2008)

Extracts From Ogbourne St Andrew & Wiltshire books
This is a typical lodge house
of the Ailesbury Estate variety;
it bears Gothic features such
as the ornate barge-boards
and detailing to the eaves.
This lodge has fish-scale tiles
that were popular in the later
19th century. Labourers work-
ing nearby have obviously
been drafted in to add a rustic
charm to the picture.
An extract from from"Marlborough Photographic Memories".
This fine old 17th-
century farmhouse, built
in a mixture of materials,
stone, brick, tile-hanging
and long straw thatch,
is typical of the area
around Marlborough.
It was known as Brown’s
by 1718. By the middle
of the 20th century it
was being used as an
outhouse, and it was
demolished in 1961–2
to make way for more
modern farm buildings.
An extract from from"Marlborough Photographic Memories".
We are looking towards
Back Lane. This is a street
mainly of 16th- or 17th-
century timber-framed
cottages. In the garden of
No 2, on the bottom left of
the picture, a plague pit was
found with the remains of
five skeletons, a legacy of
the Black Death in 1348-
9. The lady wearing a flat
cap looks like she means business!
An extract from from"Marlborough Photographic Memories".
Thought to have
been built in the late
17th century, this fine
old mill house, once one
of ten in the Ramsbury
area, was turned into
a dwelling as late as
the 1960s. Now called
Moon’s Mill, it was
previously known
as Upper Mill in the
18th century, Gibbs’
Mill, and Edwards Mill in
the mid 19th century.

This view looks east.
The chapel was not
considered an architec-
tural success, and
its interior has been
described as ‘barn-like’.
The lack of a screen
between the main body
of the church and the
altar probably adds to
the effect.
