Description

Summary: Seventeen hand-painted stones that formed part of a 'Covid-19 pebble snake' on Quaker's Walk, Devizes, in the spring / summer of 2020. This was a creative response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This particular snake was started by local resident, Sarah Cook. Other long lines of painted pebbles, called 'snakes' were created across the town, at Hillwork Park, along the path of the Kennet & Avon canal and on Windsor Drive. Some of the stones are marked DEVIZES ROCKS / SAVE THE NHS / STAY SAFE. With permission from Devizes Town Council, a selection of the stones were collected by the Museum, before the snake deteriorated and was taken away.
