Morris Lane, Devizes, Wiltshire c1980
Image: © James Harrison Taken: 10 Feb 1980
This row of 11 Victorian artisan's cottages was constructed in the middle of C19th and can be found in a quiet pedestrian-only lane in the centre of Devizes, a market town in Wiltshire. The photograph was taken around February 1980 and snow lies on the ground. The gardens of the cottages have changed considerably since this photograph was taken, with the far end of the view now almost completely covered in mature trees and shrubs. The two fir trees in the foreground no longer exist. The other notable change is the colour of the front doors. Yellow seems to be a popular choice then, nowadays, people choose white, navy blue and olive green.
