Danny Howell Warminster Historian

[Procat]

Danny Howell has written a number of books regarding the history of Warminster. Some time ago (several years now) there was talk of a web site being developed by Danny which does not appear to have eventuated. Does anyone have any news regarding this?

Greetings,

I have Danny's books "Remember Warminster" Volumes one to five, Warminster The Way We Were, The Illustrated Warminster and District Miscellany Volume one and also his An Old Postcard Album of Warminster and found them extremely interesting.

Possibly more so because my great grandaunts Annie Louisa, Agnes Kate and Sarah Amy Green (three spinsters) rate rather a lot of mentions.

They were all school teachers who were at Newtown School for a period of time that spanned fifty years. They lived at "Ingleside", Sambourne Rd.

It certainly appears to contain a lot of information. I have only just started on it and suspect I will be there for several hours also.
