Description

Bude Through Time by Dawn G. Robinson explores the transformation of Bude in Cornwall, England, from a small town with limited opportunities to a thriving tourist destination. The construction of the canal in 1800 had a profound impact on the town's development, drawing people and changing its topography. The Victorian engineers' efforts to create a harbour, including the construction of the breakwater, altered the course of the river and created a new landscape. This transformation was further shaped by natural disasters such as floods and blizzards. Today, Bude is a beautiful town with a rich history, where old buildings have given way to modern developments. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the town's past, highlighting its evolution over time and the factors that have contributed to its enduring popularity.
