This picture was taken on the 3rd February
2009 of No 58 and 59 Calne Road blanketed
by a dusting of snow. This property is recorded on
the Lyneham Estate Auction of 1905 at property 382a
under Lot 29, full details can be seen
here Grid reference - SU 020 792 GB Grid
Up to
eight inches of snow fell across the country, bringing
the nation to a standstill. Thermometers dropped to
minus 5°C
making driving conditions extremely hazardous as the
thawed snow became black ice on the roads. Lyneham
escaped much of the disruption as only half the amount
of snow fell on the village.
Picture with thanks to
Andy Humm.
