115 High Street
A Memory of Malmesbury.
I was born at Hullavington 1942 and as a child used to bus to Malmesbury for market day. In 1981 I had an opportunity to buy 115 High Street (on left side of pic about halfway up) - loved it. The stream at bottom of garden, the kids used to dig up loads of old shoe plates from the stream be - house next door used to house a cobblers. I had to tackle wet rot, deathwatch beetles, leaking roof, but loved the open fire in lounge the beams & 300 year old stairs. Fishing in the river, there were lots of watervoles still in the 1980's but haven't seen any for a few years now. I did see minks then down by cowbridge, probably why. Had to sellup in 1996 but still come back regular camper van at Burton hill site so still enjoy my fishing & a half of lager at the Smoking Dog.
