At the
start of the twentieth century, Exmouth could have been described as a
small compact town hugging the Exe Estuary, despite the fact that it
had recently been formed into an Urban District which included the
villages of Withycombe and Littleham. The population then was just
under 10,000. One hundred years later that description no longer
applies. The century — particularly the second half — has seen the town
expand tremendously, with housing and industrial development on what
was previously agricultural land. And the population has more than
trebled. This book may be described as a snapshot album of Exmouth over
those one hundred years. Like most family albums, the emphasis is on
people, although some events and places are included.
