Devizes is a typical bustling Wiltshire market town. Architecturally the town boasts a variety of buildings spanning almost a thousand years, and over 500 are currently listed. The town, located centrally in the county of Wiltshire, continues to thrive as a commercial hub despite losing the canal to industrial traffic and the railway by the mid-1960s. A range of industries have made Devizes their home, including Brown & May and Wadworth’s, and there has been major development in and around town. This series of images – many not published before – has been drawn from the collection housed at the Wiltshire Museum. All profits from the sale of the book will support the Wiltshire Museum.
