Thursday 1st November 2012

Issue 367 of The Wiltshire Monthly Intelligencer, for November 2012, edited by Michael Marshman, includes a brief report of Warminster Library’s 30th anniversary celebrations, recently held, including a summary of Michael’s talk, held at the Library, in which he discussed pub names.

Michael wrote: “Another rare name [for public house names in Warminster] is the Black Duck [which was situated at Silver Street], which may have been used as there was already a Black Swan in the town.”
