Welcome to Trowbridge Visitors to the southern approach to the town will be greeted by this planter. The flowers appear to be between seasons. The roundabout is a modern creation that took away Honeyball Farm, which is now a retail place car park.

Entrance to Axe and Cleaver Lane Apart from an entrance to Trowbridge Town F.C. the bridleway carries on around the north and west of North Bradley. The name seems to be based on cottages and a farm named Axe and Cleaver that were further down the lane. Neither exist now.
