Sign for the Cock Inn
An ancient tavern sign in use since the 14th century. Often an indication in the past that cock fighting took place in the yard. In the 17th century the sign may also have advertised the sale of 'cock-ale' which was 'ale mixed with the jelly of minced meat of a boiled cock, besides other ingredients'.

Cottages in West Street
A row of old cottages and terraced houses to the west of the town centre. But in the past they were used as a drill hall for the Wiltshire Yeomanry. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/WW1-Great-War-Centenary---Drill-Halls/12#wiltshire for a look at the county's halls.

Westleigh Home Zone, Warminster
Viewed from Pound Street. The Wiltshire Council website states that a Home Zone is a street or group
of streets designed primarily to meet the needs of pedestrians or cyclists. This is achieved by turning space previously considered for the motorist (carriageway) into areas that can be shared by both the vehicle and vulnerable road users.
Legally neither the pedestrian nor the motorist has priority over the other. The design should attempt to introduce specific measures to readdress the balance between motor vehicles and the pedestrian.

Old orphanage
West Street was home to a number of sites for the Orphanage of Pity. Moving from neighbouring properties into West House in 1872, the new house afforded accommodation for twenty-two girls. The boys were homed next door. The charity was entirely self-funded and as a consequence struggled at times, but somehow managed to feed and clothe their charges. The number of orphans grew and moved out of West House in 1890.

The 18th century house facing Cobbett Place was altered in the early-mid 19th century.
Grade II listed in 1952. Why is the central upstairs window different from the other four?

24 Pound Street, Warminster
An imposing 18thC house, just across the road from the maltings [perhaps a manager/owner's residence?]. It has had a makeover since Jaggery was there in May 2014 Image
