IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
West Street, WARMINSTER, BA12 8JZ

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.

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'.

This photo was taken to compare with an old black and white postcard view taken at the start of the 20th century.

One of the older establishments along West Street.

The inn is on West Street.

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.

The white arrow on a blue background indicates one way traffic away from the Pound Street junction.
