🤴 The Stone Insignia 👸

Yesterday we asked if you knew where the carved stone civic insignia is.

It sits above the arch on the Victoria gatehouse at our cemetery on Shaftesbury Rd.

Built in 1891, the gatehouse has a waiting room and small chapel, along with storage for cemetery equipment.

Over the next few months, we`ll be restoring the garden of remembrance, improving the drainage and renewing all the pathways within the cemetery.

Thanks to @wiltshirecouncil for replacing the damaged traffic lights at the four corners junction in the town centre.

☀️ Solar Eclipse ☀️

The Moon will pass directly between Earth and the Sun, obscuring 92% of the sun from the town this evening.

🌅 Looking for somewhere with unobstructed views of the sky to witness the solar eclipse? Why not head down to Castle Meadow!

The eclipse will begin at 6.17pm with maximum occultation at around 7.12pm. The natural display will finish at 8.06pm.

The UK Health Security Agency has offered advice on how to view the eclipse safely:
😵 Eclipse-watchers should never look at the Sun directly.
😎 Ordinary sunglasses - even very dark ones - are not safe, because they do not block enough harmful solar radiation and can allow serious retinal damage.

Safe options include:
✅️ Use genuine eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer meeting ISO12312-2:2015(E) standards
✅️ View indirectly using a pinhole projector.
✅️ Do not look at the Sun through binoculars, a telescope, camera or other optics unless they have a correctly fitted specialist solar filter.

Because Wiltshire will see a partial eclipse, there is no point at which it is safe to view the Sun with the naked eye.

🤫 Top tip: Sit by the Pavilion and look across Castle Meadow over the Wallgate site
