EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken in June 1930, showcases the picturesque English town of Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire. The image, part of the extensive Aerofilms Collection held by Historic England, offers a unique bird's-eye perspective of the historic town centre. At the heart of the scene lies the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, a prominent red-brick building with a distinctive steeple, located in Coxstalls. The chapel, with its prominent position, has been a significant part of the community for over a century, reflecting the town's rich religious history. Surrounding the chapel is the High Street, a bustling commercial and social hub filled with various shops, businesses, and residential properties. The layout of the High Street, with its neat rows of buildings and ample green spaces, exudes a sense of tranquility and order. The image also reveals the town's well-planned urban layout, with its clear distinction between residential and commercial areas. The winding roads, green spaces, and the meandering River Eaton that runs through the town, all contribute to Wootton Bassett's charming character. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the town's history and development. It is a testament to the enduring charm of Wootton Bassett and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historic towns and cities for future generations.
