More about this scene
A ferry has run across the Exe from here since the 12th century. In the 1840s Starcross received a boost with the arrival of Brunel's railway, but the village became best known for the enormous institution for mental patients which was built here in 1877. It closed in 1986, and was subsequently demolished.
