The Market Place, Devizes c1986
This view of Devizes Market Place was taken from the tower of Wadworth Brewery, looking south.

The occasion is the town's Carnival Procession (before it became a "parade"). The fair (Jennings) has set up around the Market Cross and people have started to gather along the pavements.

Little has changed in the intervening years; the concrete double lamp posts have been replaced with steel single poles and a new bus stop has been created roughly where the road forks.
