Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The old creamery, Melksham "The town of Melksham developed at a ford across the River Avon. The name is presumed to derive from MEOLC, the Old English for milk and from HAM, a village."
"Charles Maggs was the originator of The Wiltshire United Dairies at The West End Farm on Semington Road. It began as a collecting depot and butter factory, in 1897 amalgamating with The North Wilts Dairy Company and in 1900 moved to a site covering 3 acres adjoiningthe Avon Bridge. Eventually it became part of The Unigate Group with the business being transferred to Wootton Bassett in the 1980s but the remains of the large chimney for the condensery can still be seen." Both of the above were copied from: http://www.melkshamtown.co.uk/melksham_tourism/melksham_history.shtml The site is now part of a business park. |
