This house may look reasonably substantial, but it was made out of scraps and wood and cardboard by a patient from Roundway psychiatric Hospital in Devizes.

It was situated by Drews Pond in Devizes and the patient lived in it from time to time although it was eventually burned down.

The photograph was sent in by Rachel Multon of Uphill in Urchfont.

Meanwhile a Mr D Heppenstall has got in touch about a soldier he knew in 1954 to 1957.

His name is John Cable and he was in the Army Pay Corp, attached to 3rd Royal Tank, Detmold regiment in Germany, BAOR 14.

Mr Heppenstall was the Squadron clerk and the two were in Hobart Barracks, Detmold.

If you can help, contact Mr Heppenstall at Davidheppenstall1936@hotmail.com If you have any memories to share or a picture which you would like to see published, contact Diana Deal at ddeal@gazetteandherald.co.uk or at 14 Market Place, Devizes SN10 1HT.
