Ashton Mill, Trowbridge

For twenty or thirty years the middle of Trowbridge resembled a bomb site while developers built on the farmland beyond. Then gradually at first, but with ever-increasing haste, the neglected areas were tidied and spirits rose amongst the populace who had endured the squalor and lamented the lack of official interest. Now, there are few old sites left, and even some of the improved areas have been demolished and started over. Ashton Mill is sure to be on someone's list for the wrecking ball, or gentrification
