Paignton, Torbay Road 1896

More about this scene
The large shelter and the Jubilee fountain replaced the grand wrought iron gates of Torbay House as the focal point of Torbay Road. By 1896 it had become an elegant residential road with just two or three plots left; here Mr Lamshead's famous Deller's café would be erected in 1910. At the top of the road was the Broadmead Hotel, the future site of Paignton's Picture House (the Torbay Cinema) which followed. Today, this delightful cinema is a grade II listed building. It was still running in its original state until it closed down in 1999 - a unique piece of living history was lost! In the background was the Marist Fathers' House, prominent on the hill with its white statue of St Mary.
