Paynes the newsagents, 49 Market Place, Warminster, BA12 9AZ. Proprietor Alan Gallagher decorated the tradesman’s bicycle outside the shop (on the right) with flowers, adding colour to the street. To the left of the shop doors is
a rotating display rack of local postcards. On the far left is a glass-fronted noticeboard, on which advertisement for items for sale and wanted or job vacancies available or sought, could be placed by the public for a small fee.
Below it is an advertising placard for The Sun newspaper. Several lesser known newspapers are displayed on the wall on the right.

Photographs taken by Danny Howell during August 1986.
