This absorbing collection of images provides a nostalgic glimpse into the history of Brixham on the south Devon Coast during the last century.
Sold Out
Illustrated with over 200 postcards, this selection recalls Brixham in the heyday of its fishing past, when the great fleet of brown sails in the harbour was one of the finest sights in the South West, and the town was known as the 'mother of trawling'. From glimpses of shipbuilding, including the construction of the Mayflower II in 1957, net-making and other subsidiary trades, to vistas of the old town streets and buildings, all aspects of working and social life are chronicled here.
Brixham Revisited is sure to appeal to anyone who has an interest in the history of Devon.
