In Christ Church, Warminster, The First 150 Years, a booklet published in October 1980, to celebrate the 150th birthday of Christ Church, the Rev. John C. Day (Vicar) wrote:
Another educational establishment flourished in the parish during Victorian times. Christ Church School for young ladies was a private boarding establishment situated in Greenaways in Sambourne Road. It was run by a Miss Haskew and Miss Cruse and provided full boarding and schooling for young ladies at £28 per annum.
It thrived until the end of the last century when it was purchased by the Longleat Estate. For a time it was the home of the present Lord Bath. Now again in private hands, this lovely old house is the home of two families.
Julian Butler has very kindly shared the
above Warminster photograph with
readers of www.dannyhowell.net.
It’s a view looking west from the road
that gives access to the Western Car Park,
looking across Sambourne Road to
Emwell Street. Of most interest in the
photo is the hut-like building on the
right behind one of the parked cars.
This building was the gentlemen’s public
conveniences which existed on the
corner of Emwell Street and Sambourne
Road for many years. In the yard behind
them were some lock-up garages
made of wood and corrugated iron, which
looked very delapidated in their final years.
The conveniences were demolished in
the early 1980s, so the photograph must
pre-date 1980 or thereabouts.
Our thanks to Julian for sharing this photo
with dannyhowell.net.
