Description
Devon Through Time offers a unique glimpse into the county's rich history, from its transformation into a popular holiday resort in Victorian and Edwardian times to its enduring beauty today.
The introduction of the railway and the production of picture postcards played a significant role in shaping Devon's tourism industry. Thousands of images of the county were captured on film, many of which still exist today and can be found in second-hand shops and auction rooms.
Devon is also home to the vast expanse of Dartmoor, a region that has been immortalized in literature and remains a popular destination for visitors. This book provides a fascinating look at the county's history and its enduring appeal as a tourist destination.
