Later Captain Truelove used the hanger to house his Avro seaplane for tourist flights around Torbay. In the background are the buildings of the Preston Railway 'stop off' for visitors to the beach.
An indication of the lack of visitors to Sidmouth can be gleaned from this picture, taken from the Esplanade. The sea wall was constructed in 1835 and the shingle beach can be clearly seen.
This is a good view of one of the few places with access to a good beach for many miles of slate coast, although even then the sand is covered at high tide. Gull Rock is offshore.
Today, behind the tents and huts to the right there is a massice holiday camp development.
A typical scene on many of the beaches in the area: bathing machines are lined up along the water's edge waiting for customers.
