Lost Devon

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Before tourism, fishing was the main feature of Devon's coastline, and behind the beaches was a salt industry, reflected in the naming of places such as Salcombe and Budleigh Salterton. Inland, religious houses, copper and tin mining, paper making and the wool industry all played a part in shaping Devon's identity. Felicity Goodall's illustrated account of the county's rich history identifies the various enterprises, places and people that have influenced its development.
