Granary Road, DEVIZES, SN10 3DP

Windsor Drive delineates the eastern edge of the town of Devizes. Seen from Gypsy Path. 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.

Seen from the entrance off Gypsy Path, a byway, are the recently created allotments.

Some pleasant red brick housing here at the western end of the Vale of Pewsey. Much of the housing between here and Pewsey uses the local red brick. Many of the older properties are especially attractive. Newer ones should weather in given time. The name of the road suggests a brick works along here at some time.

Gypsy Path is a track, a designated byway, running from the junction of Windsor Drive and Brickley Lane to Coate Bridge. At this end it provides vehicular access to the allotments and the radio masts.

The gate on the left of Gypsy Path is the entrance to Windsor Drive allotments. The allotments have only recently been created.
