Comments and Images

see image record [EPW032617] The Avon Silk Mills Co Limited Silk Mill, St John's Bridge and St John's Street, Malmesbury, 1930. This image has been affected by flare. This photo of Malmesbury shows that not a great deal has changed. The silk mills are now residential (Avon Mills) and the gas tanks are no longer there. Fortunately, as of 2013, the green space is still green, though plans are afoot for a supermarket development.	David Parry	Thursday 9th of May 2013 09:37:41 PM

So how many cattle markets did Wiltshire have, and have they all now gone?	Katy Whitaker	Wednesday 28th of November 2012 05:16:51 PM
There is still a livestock market/auction at Netherhampton, Salisbury. (And not quite Wiltshire, but there is also one in Shaftesbury, Dorset.)	David Parry	Thursday 9th of May 2013 09:01:09 PM

So pleased to see that we finally have a Wiltshire group on the website - welcome! And you have even picked one of my favourite images as your cover photo. I am looking forward to a lively discussion about the history of this beautiful county!	Sandra Brauer	Thursday 29th of November 2012 12:28:20 PM
