Well done to all of those who guessed correctly the photograph from Bath Record Office which featured in last week’s Journal. We will be publishing a different photo each week (until we run out!) of old photographic postcards uncovered by the Record Office, who found these in a scrapbook compiled by Richard Boodle. Can you guess this week’s, above?

Last week’s photograph was at Kilmersdon. Well done to readers, Roz Wilkinson, Ian Collins and Jeff Parsons, who all guessed correctly. Roz says: “The church tower in last week’s picture is quite unmistakeable.

“The name in the bottom right corner of the picture, H.W. Long, is a big clue, as Herbert Long was the Headteacher of Kilmersdon School for 33 years from 1891 to 1924.

“The angle at which the photo was taken is harder to pinpoint, but I believe that the long roof with three chimneys to the left of the church is what we know today as The Barracks, with the old Chapel immediately next door to it on the right.

“The roof in the left foreground is probably the house known as Gallis Ash, situated towards the top of Kilmersdon Hill on the left, and the photo has therefore been taken from the hillside to the south of Kilmersdon Hill, directly behind where I live today.

“If we were not knee deep in snow today, I would have been happy to try and take a photo from the same spot!

So, think you can identify this week’s photograph? Answer in next week’s Journal. Email: [email protected] with your answer and even a photograph of what the scene looks like today, or send it to us via Facebook @MNRJournal.
