Are you intrigued by the same view taken many years apart?
Two pictures of Melksham station (roughly from the same spot), dated "Circa 1940" and Friday, 11th May 2012.
There are many more old pictures of Melksham, and new pictures too, on show in the Well House Collection - a museum for Melksham - which opens its doors at 11 a.m. tomorrow - that's Saturday 12th May 2012. It'll be open all day, then every afternoon all through the summer. Location - 48, Spa Road, Melksham. Artefacts as well as pictures. Free entry, free parking ... but please stop long enough to buy a bean-to-cup coffee or a strawberry cream tea.
