The image taken in the mid 1940's of
Lyneham Green and the Village Hall, Ordnance Survey
Grid Reference SU 020 792. The beautiful thatched cottage
was utilised as a village café, often serving
the Womens Auxiliary Air Force members, who use to be
billetted in housing where the Pound Close estate currently
stands. The Village Hall was built by Major Buxton ,
who lived at Tockenham Court Manor.
With thanks to Ray Cole for a copy of this picture
postcard.
Do you know any other village bygones, facts or hold
images of the past, what the building was used for,
who visited it, or do you you have a tale to tell with
the life in Lyneham. If so please let us know so we
can fill in the missing bygones of the village and share
it with everyone else. Please contact the webmaster here.
