A tasty hydrant
The large housing estate in Lyneham is one built for the military presence that inhabited the village for many years. As part of that post-WWII drive, the utilities were supplied in part by Ham, Baker and Company. They were a metal engineers, founders and water systems manufacturer, started in 1893 in the West Midlands. Their product range expanded to provide many forms of water management hardware, of which this hydrant cover is one.
The company was taken over by Biwater in 1980 and the original site demolished in 2000, but the name carried on as a subsidiary in Stoke on Trent. The Westminster part of the cover refers to a company office address - quite a common practice.

A3102, Lyneham
The main road from Calne to Lyneham and Wootton Bassett is visible at the right. The van with the tall antenna is from BBC 'Points West'. It is probably here because a flight is due in from Afghanistan tomorrow bearing the latest batch of soldiers killed on active service.
