The council adopted the boxes—one on Spa Road and the other on Littlejohn Avenue near the Pig and Whistle pub—from BT in 2020. After tidying them up, the council sought suggestions from community groups in 2021 regarding potential uses for the boxes. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.

Trees, parks and roads for the Silver Jubilee A column about days gone by in Melksham by local historian Lisa Ellis Prior to King George V, British monarchs only celebrated jubilees after 50 years on the throne. In 1935, his Majesty was the first to celebrate a Silver Jubilee, marking his 25 years as monarch.

  • Christmas wreaths and new member search for Townswomen’s Guild. Members of the Melksham Townswomen’s Guild got into the festive spirit this month by making Christmas wreaths, as they aim to recruit new members. The group’s chairman, Tricia Hoy, said, “One member was a bit concerned about managing tricky greenery onto a hoop, but no! Linda McCloud had prepared many strips of colourful material to knot around a wooden hoop, so no sore fingers – just beautiful finished wreaths ready to decorate our homes next month!” Tricia also highlighted that, due to low membership numbers, the group faces the possibility of closure. “We need to recruit new members to keep our group going,” she explained. “We meet on the second Friday of each month at 2pm and are a very friendly group.

  • Care home brings Munich to Melksham with Oktoberfest celebrations. A Melksham care home transformed its reception area into a lively Oktoberfest celebration last month, bringing together residents, their families and their friends for an “unforgettable” evening. Blenheim House, part of the Berkley Care Group, treated attendees to music, games and authentic German snacks in an event hosted by The Bierkeller Boys, a Bavarian oompah band.

  • Dark tales of Wiltshire and a mummified hand – what’s on at the Atworth History Group. At their last meeting, the Atworth History Group welcomed local historian Claire Mills, who gave an entertaining talk about the darker side of Wiltshire. The group heard about several haunted places and the stories of the people who were doing the haunting, as well as a mummified hand found in the haunch (a snug) of the Venison pub in Salisbury. It is thought to be from the 18th century and belonged to a player who lost it in a card game due to cheating. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
