Tavistock Times Gazette is a weekly newspaper which serves the Tavistock area in West Devon, England. It is published in tabloid format every Thursday.
The paper exists as the result of the merging of two rival papers in 1986. The Tavistock Times, founded in 1920, competed with the older Tavistock Gazette, founded in 1857, and each at various points threatened to put the other out of business.
The paper has a circulation of about 8,000, and is owned by the Tindle Newspaper Group.
Famous quotes containing the words times and/or gazette:
“A hook shot kisses the rim and
hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop
and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump
perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession”
—Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)
“Every gazette brings accounts of the untutored freaks of the wind,—shipwrecks and hurricanes which the mariner and planter accept as special or general providences; but they touch our consciences, they remind us of our sins. Another deluge would disgrace mankind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
