Warminster Town Council has raised no objections to a planning application for demolishing the scout hut known as the Teichman Hall at Boreham Road, Warminster, and the use of the land for housing. But the Town Council has raised concerns that the plans for the site do not include a turning bay for cars, bearing in mind the amount of traffic that uses Boreham Road, and the fact that St. John’s Primary School is nearby.

According to the Listed Buildings Record, Teify House at 50 Boreham Road, Warminster, features a marble fireplace in its former library. This fireplace was removed from Heronslade House, Boreham Road, Warminster, and transferred to Teify House when Heronslade House was due for demolition.
Wilfred Middlebrook, in The Changing Face Of Warminster (first written in 1960), updated in 1971:
Another industry that flourished here for a while on Boreham Road was the shoe-making firm of Messrs. C. And J. Clark from Street. During the last war the Americans occupied Prestbury House and built spacious hutments behind. Some of these buildings were taken over by Clarks after the War, to start a flourishing business that later moved to new premises on Fairfield Road, now Strode Components.
