"Lift your eyes above modern shop fronts and the whole town is like a period set" (David Boulter, Producer, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: The Ties That Bind, ITV, 2014).

Corsham is a unique and diverse location, with its architecturally significant High Street, ranging from Elizabethan to Georgian and Victorian buildings, encompassing a multitude of architectural features from mullion, sash and Venetian windows to mansard roofs. Many of the buildings still standing along the High Street, which spans 450 metres, were built in the 1800's when Bath stone was first discovered in local quarries. The street is topped and tailed by the imposing Georgian Town Hall at one end and the 17th Century alms houses at the other.
