Where, Which, When, Who, What ...

This is a quiz put together in December 2009 for Christmas in Melksham - how well do you know your town, your county, the personalities that you'll find there and the events that happen through the year?

We'll start off with a map of Melksham, then ask if you can tell me where (within the map area) some pictures were taken. Make notes of your various answers in this and other sections .. and we'll give you a link to the answers at the end of the quiz. ENJOY!
