About the book >.>.> This book cele- brates the life of Torquay Paignton and Brixham through a hundred years or so of change from the mid nineteenth century through the Edwardian years up to the changes brought about by the Second World War. Through the inclusion of over 250 photographs and other illustrations this superb book captures the spirit of Torbay through each decade. From what was the tiny fishing port of Brixham the seaside village of Paignton to the ancient settlement of Torquay the book follows the incredi- ble changes that have taken place. For those whose lives are bound up in the region memories will come flooding back and for those who know only the modern Torbay a fascinating glimpse is given of how much the place has changed in a hundred years.
