An illustrated talk by David Hinchliffe
This talk traces the search for water to supply Torquay’s ever-expanding population, from the era of pumps and wells in 1801 through to the construction of a chain of reservoirs on Dartmoor.
A series of marker stones then returns us to the town, and brings us into the 1950s. History, archaeology and some lovely scenery combine to tell the story.
