Description

Explore the historical evolution of the Devon coast in this comprehensive study from the Exeter Maritime Studies series. This book examines how remote fishing villages transformed into fashionable seaside resorts between 1750 and 1900. By connecting the development of these coastal towns to broader social and economic changes, the text explains the factors that drew early tourists to the region. Readers will find detailed accounts of historical seaside life, including bathing rituals, sea-water drinking, and the impact of health cures and cholera epidemics. The narrative also covers the rise of sophisticated amusements, improving recreations, and the technological shifts brought by paddle-steamers and excursion trains. It is an essential resource for those interested in business and economic history and the maritime heritage of Devon.
