The A4 passes through Corsham The attractive little town of Corsham, at the edge of the Cotswolds, has received comparatively little attention on Geograph to date.  The A4 skirts through one side of it, flanked by houses in the warm-coloured local stone.  A more contemporary feature of the town is that it has embraced the mini-roundabout to a greater extent than others in the area (one of them can be seen at the junction in the distance).

Biddestone duck pond This pond is more significant than at first sight. Local records show that in 1661 a Mr Mountjoy made a gutter from the springs and put the water from the streets into a pond. The pond provided water for animals and steam engines. In it, wagon wheels were soaked during warm weather to expand their wood, thus preventing their iron tyres from getting loose.

The Hare and Hounds, Corsham The Hare and Hounds was once the home of Moses Pickwick who gave his name to this area of the town and also ran horse-drawn carriages from Bath to London.

Alas, poor reynard! A fox carcass, seeming to sink into the earth like a stricken ship. Not a fresh one, but probably not that old either.
