Step into historic Kingsbridge and its creeks, lanes and hillsides as S. P. Fox leads you through a lost Devon landscape of chapels, quays and farmsteads. The past feels close here. First appearing in a bygone age, Kingsbridge and Its Surroundings stands as both a devon local history book and a vivid town and countryside guidebook, tracing kingsbridge devon history in the days when the town was a compact port serving the rich south hams countryside. Fox records streets, trades, churches, local families and neighbouring hamlets with the attentive eye of a born observer, creating a classic of english regional history and an intimate portrait of english market town life on the south devon england coast. Republished for local history lovers and visitors alike, this enduring kingsbridge and its surroundings guide speaks to anyone curious about how landscape, labour and faith shaped historic kingsbridge devon and its hinterland. It offers rich context for research for family historians tracing ancestors in the region, while also rewarding modern walkers who enjoy using an old-style south devon travel guide as a companion to present-day explorations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
