IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Victoria Road, DEVIZES, SN10 1EZ

The exact identity of this insect eludes me. It was fortunate that it stayed still long enough for me to obtain this image of it.

The towpath here is well-used by locals.

Seen from the towpath, a public footpath, of the Kennet & Avon canal is London Road bridge with Park Bridge in the distance. Both bridges are listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1263775 and at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1249363 The market town of Devizes developed around its 11th century castle. It gained a charter in 1141 and holds a weekly market in the large and picturesque Market Place. In the 16th century the town became known for its textiles and in the early 18th century held the largest corn market in the West Country. Devizes has about 500 listed buildings - a very large number for a small town.

The path here is quite a height above the canal, so offers a reasonable place to moor.

Off the A361 almost opposite St.James Church. Residential with pleasant red brick houses.

The Morrisons supermarket is the largest shop in Devizes and is just off Estcourt St. It has a cafe as well as the usual aisles of baked beans.

Built as a school in 1861, the building has recently been used as a youth centre and as accommodation for the local Girl Guides and Brownies. A number of recent planning applications have been made to convert the building into one residential house or into several apartments.
