Mr. A.C. Halliday in his notes on Warminster and the surrounding villages, penned in the 1980s, in a hard-bound notebook (now in the possession of Danny Howell), wrote:
Reminiscences of Mrs. Webb of West Parade, our “Mrs. Mopp’ for years. Her mother and father (a miner in Somerset and Wales) injured and moved in 1940 to No.25 George Street. Now the end house of the brick terrace on the north side. After World War II, circa. 1947/48, Nos.24 and 23 (identical with hers) were pulled down, as was a very large lodging, ex-private house, all to make way for the Octagon Garage.
