NEWTON ABBOT IN THE NEWS
A Decade of Change 1970-1979
Brian Thomas
In a cornucopia of photographs and stories from 1970-1979 this book
answers the following questions: What event brought 3,000 motorbikes to
Newton Abbot? When (and why) did Newton Abbot Racecorse allow pantomime
horses over the jumps? Why did a television Time Lord find Dartmoor a
real pain?
