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).

Corsham Court Gazebo

Corsham Court sham screen
This folly is believed to have been constructed to hide the house from either Church Street or nearby Ethelred House.
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. It is recorded that Charles Dickens visited the pub and borrowed Mr Pickwick's surname for the title of his famous book.
The Cross Keys, Corsham
The pub gave its name to this cross-roads on the A4 and was reputedly where Charles Dickens stayed when gleaning information for The Pickwick Papers (NB see entry for The Hare and Hounds nearby).
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.
