Looking Back At West Street Garage, Warminster

West Street Garage, near the junction of West Street with Pound Row, Warminster. (Pound Row in the background). I took the photograph in 1986. The garage building was originally one of the town’s many malthouses and would have had two floors. My photo shows six used cars on the sloping forecourt. The garage was later demolished and some of the houses of West Street Place were built on the site.

Bollards Erected On The Pavement Outside 67, 69 & 71 West Street, Warminster

Sunday 22nd October 2017

 Bollards recently erected on the pavement
outside Nos. 67, 69 & 71 West Street, Warminster.

 Back in March 2016, residents of West Street had expressed concern about the traffic situation in the street. Excessive speed HGV lorries had been mounting the pavements and putting pedestrians at risk. There were concerns about damage to residents’ vehicles, and cyclists were preferring to use the pavement due to parking reducing the width of road available.
