This month’s display in the town hall museum features a collection of Christmas-themed items from Melksham dating back to the early 1900s.
From a Christmas advert from 1923 to an image of the town’s Christmas tree from 1922, the display also includes a Christmas postcard sent to Melksham in 1905, an advert for what was showing at the Melksham Picture House in 1915 and an early 20th-century Kings Arms Christmas card, plus more.
Organised by Melksham and District Historical Society, the chair, Paul Carter, said, “There is a display near our cabinets, so please make your presence known so staff can remove the rope barrier for closer inspection.”
