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.

Alan Dorrington, the fishmonger, between calls of "fresh fish" on the Poldark set in Corsham High Street

A kindly fishmonger has made the constructive criticism that it was not possible to easily find new galleries or articles that have been added to this site. With this in mind I give, below, pointers to pages that have been added in the last couple of months. I will update this regularly. Also, don't forget that odd (very odd in some cases!) photos are constantly being added to many of the galleries, for example under 'Localities' or 'Beyond'.
