Welcome to the Rudloe and environs website.

Here you will find news, articles and photos of an area that straddles the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in north-west Wiltshire.

Contributions in the form of articles or photos are welcome. Even those with completely contrary views to mine!

Thanks to the website builder 1&1 and Rob Brown for the original idea.

Rudloescene now, in January 2014, has a sister, academic rather than anarchic, website about Box history here: http://www.boxpeopleandplaces.co.uk/

It contains thoroughly professional, well-researched articles about Box and its people.

Rosie Feeney returns to her childhood haunts at Boxfields with husband Dave - February 2016

Rosie Feeney returns to the location of her childhood home and haunts with husband Dave in February 2016. Interesting that, having spoken with Richard Pinker who used to live at Tunnel Inn, his 'Tumps' were the spoil heaps from the former quarries at Box Hill Common. For other children on the prefab estates, their 'Tumps' were the spoil heaps from the excavation of Box Tunnel around shaft no. 4 shown in one of the photos below.
