Melksham Christmas Lights
December 2009 - new, this year, the official site for the Melksham Christmas lights is {here}. See also {here} for our 2009 pictures
[imgl=xmhouse]Longford Road, Melksham[/img] Each year, some of the residents of Longford Road, Melksham, decorate their houses extravagantly and encourage neighbors, other Melkshamites, and people from further afield to come into town and view the spectacle.
[imgl=xmgard1]In the garden[/img] There's one house especially where the front garden is taken over by lit models and fairly lights ... to the extent that you'll wonder if there's any lawn left afterwords.
[imgl=xmgard2]December decorations[/img] If you're wondering "why" .... I understand that it started as something of a piece of fun - and it's still fun - but now the houses are collecting in aid of local hospices, the Wiltshire Air Ambulance and other good nearby causes. More weight to their elbow!
The Christmas lights are here again in 2009 ... and there's an official website about them, including an interesting technical article about how they do it. There are some Melksham Christmas 2008 pictures here - above are from previous years. Further pictures and comment.
