The Road Surface At George Street, Warminster, In 1890

From the Warminster Herald newspaper, Saturday 8 February 1890:

A poem – 

THE ASPHALT IN GEORGE STREET OR BY-GONE DAYS

George Street, in days gone by, could claim
Importance, worthy of its name;
With decent shops, some houses new,
Its broad clean road and pavement blue.

What is there now the eye to strike?
Why road and footpath both alike;
Some asphalt may be good enough –
In George Street ’tis the worst of stuff.

The dwellers there are much aggrieved
At the black mire they have received,
For clean their doorsteps how they may,
It dirts them every rainy day.

The question comes, what can be done
To cure the work so ill begun?
That thing called MONEY must be had,
Or still the asphalt will be bad.

We want some kind and wealthy donor
To give, say fifty pounds or more,
That all expenses might be met
To make it perfect and complete.

Who knows, but these few words of mine
May soon some generous heart incline
To remedy this state of things,
And stay the ills its nuisance brings? 

Written by “E. F.”

Pistol Accident Near The Reservoir At Botany, Warminster

Thursday 1st August 1889

From the Warminster And West Wilts Herald, Saturday 3rd August 1889:

Pistol Accident Near The Reservoir At Botany

Serious Accident. On Thursday afternoon [1st August 1889] a serious accident occurred to a boy named Arthur Holloway, eleven years of age, living at the Common. It appears another lad named Marsh was engaged in scaring birds from a wheat field near the reservoir at Botany, Holloway being in his company. To assist him in his work, Marsh had an old pistol in his possession and had just loaded it with the usual powder and shot, when, by accident, the pistol was discharged, the shot entering Holloway’s side just below the heart, causing him to immediately fall to the ground. Some men who were at work in an adjoining field were immediately called, and obtained Mr. Payne’s cart and at once conveyed Holloway to the Hospital, where he lies in a very dangerous condition.
