A Paignton Scrapbook (Electronic book text, New ed.)

Peggy Parnell has lived in Paignton all her life, and has been fascinated by the town's history for as long as she can remember. Her new book is neither a volume of old photographs nor a chronological history; rather, it's a lucky-dip into the past - telling stories about well-known characters, filling us in on the history of local businesses, exploring the truth behind various myths and legends that have grown up over the years, reminding readers of long-gone buildings, remembering bygone pubs and clubs - and much more. A delightful selection of illustrations has been chosen to accompany the lively and entertaining text. Anyone who knows and loves Paignton, as resident or visitor, will enjoy Peggy Parnell's new book.
