Out and about again boxing day, first stop the Avon Valley Hunt at Lacock. Love or hate it, the pompous barbarity mixed with tradition makes for a photogenic event (if you can get in the right place at the right time).
St Aldhelms church, Doulting. Built in the 12th century. St Aldhelm was the nephew of King Ine of Wessex, who died in the village in the 8th century, after which the local spring, church and school are named.
Empty shelves in Woolworths as shops are starting to close down.
Old building, Frome.

Built in the 1860's from old railway tracks, designed to be a ferry terminal for trips to and from Wales (in far distance, across the bristol channel). It cost £10,000 to build, but has had the best part of a miilion pounds spent restoring and maintaining it over the years. It is currently the only structurally intact, Grade I listed pier in the UK.
