The heart of Tisbury In the village square looking to the post office on the left beyond the elaboate signpost with lights above. The bunting and woollen bollard covers relate to Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier in the month. Did the powers that be really have to paint double yellow lines around the historical structure?
