Torquay: Pocket Images, Paperback / softback Book

Torquay: Pocket Images Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Much lauded as the 'Queen of the English Riviera', Torquay is a beautiful town with a rich and colourful history.

It came to life as a fashionable resort during the time of the Napoleonic Wars.

By the end of the nineteenth century, the population of Torquay had risen to 35,000.

This book takes up the story at this point, and, through a selection of rare photographs, brings the last 100 years to life.

All of these evocative images are supported with expertly written captions, that will guide the reader down memory lane, and give them a glimpse into a bygone age.
