Josephine, What lovely postcards. I would love to see some of Ramsbury from that era where my family originated. I wonder if anyone has any of Ramsbury to share.

At the moment there are pictures on it, dating from Edwardian times, of Kemble and Ashton Keynes. Kemble was formerly in Wiltshire, but became part of Gloucestershire in 1897. To see these old pictures, click on Wiltshire Wanderings on the main page of the site: www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com The first Kemble picture shows a water hydrant located in a 'beehive' structure made of Cotswold stone. The second Kemble picture shows the Post Office, Limes Road, which was once situated on a plot of land in the middle of the road. The third picture shows the blacksmith's forge and cottage in Church Road. There are two Ashton Keynes pictures. The first shows one of the four ancient crosses, which had their tops broken off during the Civil War, while the second shows cottages at Kent End. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-WILTSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Thank you for your kind comment, Leonie. I don't have any old postcards of Ramsbury, but I do have old postcards and old prints of various places in Wiltshire, which I am hoping to add to my Wiltshire Wanderings page on my web site. I will let the list know of any new additions. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

For anyone who is looking for photos of old Wiltshire there are commercial sites which you can browse without purchasing anything. At Francis Frith for example under Ramsbury you will find 4 pages of pictures. (I have no commercial interest in the site) Another way is to use a search engine that offers ilustrations of the subject you are looking for. For example if you search for Ramsbury on Alltheweb you will find hundreds of illustrations (not all of which are relevant). Typing in Corsham gave me 23,200 results.
