Maybe one of you obsessives could set up a Facebook campaign? :D G x I've sorted the toilet problem out now. The NT have their new cafe and the bogs get moved to the WKLB. The chambers on the left are for the ladies, those on the right for the gents and the main chamber the washroom. And no problem to overcome with regard to the facade either. Simples! Right, any good plumbers in the area or do we stick with leather buckets?

A signpost at the bottom of Green Street indicating that the Herepath leads up to the Ridgeway?

Green st and on to the Ridgeway and another from the north entrance going towards Swindon.

Gosh Well the first house to be sold has been bought by two close friends of ours - a primary teacher and a writer, both long term Avebury lovers. Be nice to the, if you meet them - whatever you think of the development - I am sure they never realised what a hornets nest they were getting into. As for me I thought the garage awful and given a few seasons I am sure the newness of these houses will mellow. [/quote] Lets just hope the people who do buy those properties (and again its worth remembering they are only five in number) care about Avebury and work towards strengthening the exisiting community. Having said the above, I do agree in retrospect it was a lost opportunity on behalf of the National Trust to enhance the amenities at Avebury.[/quote]

I wish your friends well in their new homes - there is a community in Avebury which I'm sure they'll get to know, shame no village school anymore though. I was a regular attendee at the Avebury Open Mic (in the village hall) over the last 2 years which was a great way of bringing local people together. The couple who organised it have now moved away but no reason why your friends couldn't get involved - local musicians turned up regularly as did some musicians who liked it so much they drove down regularly from London to participate. PS: I hasten to add I don't live in Avebury myself.
