A place familiar to all train travellers through Devon, Dawlish nestles
across the sides of a broad combe, with the railway line protecting the
town from the sea.
The Beach House Temperance Hotel (to
the right in photograph No 44204) is
apparent on the left in this view of the
broad Esplanade, looking towards the
centre of the town.
Famous for its many antique shops, which line the broad High Street, Hungerford was given a fishing charter and a brass drinking-horn by John of Gaunt (the Duke of Lancaster), who granted fishing rights
The village stands under the downs near the source of the Len and has a broad, attractive market square fringed with lime trees, which create a shadowed path over the uneven setts and cobbles.
The stone jetty
that we can see in the background was the main terminal for ships
to Ireland and the Isle of Man, until Heysham Harbour was cut in
the 1900s.
