The race is on to identify 75 mysterious photographs captured in Devizes Details, by Dave Buxton. The book celebrates the rich detail and character of the town of Devizes, and has been flying off the shelves in recent weeks. Devizes Details encourages people across the town to take a closer look at familiar streets, rooftops, windows and more. It has been created by Devizes Outdoor Celebratory Arts (DOCA) stalwart Dave Buxton, alongside Ida McConnell of Jakson McConnell. Proceeds from sales of the book will go to support DOCA’s future programme of events that have been much missed by the town, and wider Wiltshire community.
