Geocache Description:


A straightforward traditional cache located at Melksham, Wiltshire. The co-ordinates given are for the cache itself but there is ample on-road parking nearby. Wheelchair access is sadly unlikely because of the terrain (short grass) immediately surrounding the cache. You are looking for a micro container which contains only a small log and a pencil.

The main focus of this location is a large item of industrial archaeology dating from the mid 1800s. It has been present in this spot for a number of years, but has recently been given a face-lift and a new coat of paint, replacing the former red oxide coating. The item originates from Kingston Mill, Bradford-on-Avon, which has a fascinating  history. Having been originally built  in 1807 by one Thomas Divett, and, following a chequered existence, the building was bought by Stephen Moulton and was subsequently part of the George Spencer Moulton Rubber Co. eventually to become The Avon Rubber Co. The building was demolished in 1972, and the land now hosts a large residential complex. (Trouble at Mill indeed!)
