More about this scene

This hospital was built as a replacement for the cottage hospital in Bank Street. Mrs Ludlow Bruges of Seend was the benefactor who gave the hospital to the town. It was opened by the Marquis of Bath on 23 July 1938. In the grounds on the right were cottages for the ambulance driver and the gardener.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I am trying to find some photographs and/or information re the dairy manager's house in Shurnhold, I believe it was a Co-Op dairy and that the house was not only the manager's accommodation but also partly a shop. Above the main entrance (front door) is the date 1886, although I believe that the original part of the building is older. Any information or photos at all would be gratefully received, thanks in advance.
