Description
Exeter Through Time brings to life the rich history of Devonshire's county town, Exeter. With over 2,000 years of story to tell, this fascinating book explores the city's development from Roman times to the present day. Archive material and new colour photographs combine with informative captions to reveal the city's hidden past. From its ancient Guildhall to its medieval cathedral, elegant Georgian terraces, and assertive Victorian museum, Exeter is a city proud of its heritage. The River Exe, once vital to the cloth trade that shaped the city's wealth, now offers outdoor activities for visitors. This book delves into the city's history, uncovering tales of a vindictive countess, fabulously wealthy bankers, and more. With 96 pages of engaging content, Exeter Through Time is an ideal choice for anyone interested in local history or looking to explore the charms of Devonshire's county town.
