The Slippery State Of Boreham Road, Warminster

Saturday 5th October 1907

The Slippery State Of Boreham Road, Warminster, Particularly Between Heronslade And St. John’s Church.

A letter written by Major Oldfield, of Heronslade, Boreham Road, Warminster, which he sent to the Clerk of Warminster Urban District Council:

“October 5th 1907.
Dear Sir,
I should like to draw the attention of the Warminster U.D.C. to the state of the road between this house and Warminster, and particularly that part of it between here and St. John’s Church. It has apparently at some time been treated with a so-called dust-preventing mixture, the effect of which has been to render it exceedingly slippery in parts, and absolutely dangerous to horses, especially when wet. What might have been a serious accident occurred there today to my wife, while riding, whose horse slipped on the treacherous surface and came down. I should add that the road is very much worn in places, which renders it all the more dangerous. I shall be obliged if you will lay this letter before your Council at their next meeting, with the suggestion that the road be paved in future with ordinary macadam, as, in addition to its present dangerously slippery state, the clouds of dust are worse than those from the untreated portion of the road”.
