CAN you guess where this week’s Mystery Photograph was taken?

Each week, the Journal invites readers to test their knowledge by identifying a historic location from days gone by, and last week we featured a picture supplied by Radstock Museum.

We had quite a few entries for last week’s picture with Hilary Brown writing in guessing it as Bowden Hill in Chilcompton.

Her guess was joined by Jeff Parsons who said: “I think the picture this week is of Chilcompton. In Chris Howell's ‘Some of our old pictures’ at 56C he states that this is Chilcompton Hill & Post Office. I imagine that the Post Office is the building on the right hand side with a bicycle leant against the wall under the window.”

Peter Strawbridge also got in touch and said: “Mystery photo is Bowden Hill, Chilcompton, with the photographer near Hughy Hodge's (farmer) milk churn stand. The war memorial is just out of sight further up the hill.”

Lucy Edwards also emailed in to say: “I think the mystery photograph in this week’s Journal is Bowden Hill, Chilcompton,” while James Swift phoned in to tell us it’s Bowden Hill in Chilcompton, and that he was very confident in his answer as he pushed his bike up the hill for 50 years on the way to Sheppard’s Saw Mill at the top!

You’ve guess it, we’re happy to say they were all correct and the image is indeed from a postcard taken around 1915 of Bowden Hill and Post Office in Chilcompton.

Well done to all our readers who guessed correctly at home.

Our thanks again go to Radstock Museum for the latest supply of Mystery Photographs. This week’s is also one taken from their collection.
