Tavistock in West Devon lies at the heart of an important agricultural area and is one of several towns on the fringe of Dartmoor.
The town, with a population of almost 12,000, supported two weekly paid-for titles for more than 50 years. The older of the two, the Tavistock Gazette, was founded in 1857 and ran without a break as a traditional country broadsheet until 1974.
“Two ranges of jagged tors swept across the skyline and rose, grey and shadowy, against the purple of the air.”
