Brixham

In its heyday, Brixham’s fishermen were renowned for the vast number of fish they landed, the choir was one of the finest in the west of England, and it was a beautiful place to live. Today, it is a still a picturesque place to live and visit, and the links to fishing and music are still very much alive. The large number of captivating photos and postcards in this book reveal the past ways of life to visitors, and remind locals of the sights that used to be so familiar. Once again, Ted Gosling and June Richards have selected a wonderful collection of photos that will delight anyone who knows this charming part of Devon.

Ted Rosling is the curator of the Axe Valley Heritage Museum. He has written more than 40 books on Devon in the Britain in Old Photographs series. June Richards is Ted’s co-author for this title.
