 Melksham
|
|
| Melksham,
the town was a wool town in medieval times, and was once part
of a royal forest used for hunting. After the discovery of springs
in 1816 it tried, but failed, to become a spa town even after
building a pump room, baths, promenade and crescents. More recently
the town was a WW2 airbase, now long gone.
Buildings in the town
reflect past prosperity, especially those in Canon Square
and Church Walk.
The town has a swimming
pool, golf course, and a ten pin bowling alley.
Tourist Information Centre in the town.
