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.

On 13th August 2017, a van with this poster on the side was parked up in the Circus, Bath. The message, along with the others shown below, was, I would imagine, aimed at the Bath Chinese tourist trade. I guess that one problem with this is that these same tourists would not understand or would not care. There were quite a number in the vicinity who appeared to be completely oblivious to the vehicle and its message whilst 'Westerners' (including myself) were taking pictures and reading the messages.

I have seen this vehicle previously, in Leafy Lane, so I would imagine that the owner is local. He or she clearly feels very strongly about this subject (as should we all) and I would welcome his/her getting in touch in order to further promote these messages.
