He produced his own medicines and invalid wines and useful domestic products such as insect powders and furniture polish. John Coles was a key figure in the provision of education in Chippenham. A brass plaque on the wall in the old block of the technical college commemorates his 21 years as Chairman of the Governing Body for Secondary and Technical Education.
