The Book of Torbay: A Century of Celebration
By Frank Pearce
Tiverton: Halsgrove House (2005)
Index prepared by Michael Steer
This attractive, beautifully illustrated book, packed with information, is another in the celebrated Halsgrove House series and is a reflection on Torbay, which includes the towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, in times past, as well as an engaging record of its present community life. The book is a treasure trove for both local historian and genealogist. Halsgrove's development of this series meets its goal of working together with community members to collect and preserve invaluable information that might otherwise be irretrievably lost, as the images and stories of Torbay's people and places fade from memory.
