A Guide to the Blue Plaques

Highly Commended in the Devon History Society's Local Society Awards

The new Sidmouth's Blue Plaques. Guide to the Blue Plaques – Life and Times in Sidmouth tells the stories behind the 64 plaques which indicate the interesting history and heritage of this Regency seaside town – a treasure-trove of information on colourful residents, visiting royalty, rogues, innovations, pastimes, fashionable architecture and exotic gardens. Earlier editions of the guide have proved very popular and this greatly expanded and copiously illustrated version has details of 29 new plaques as well as revising the original stories as more information has come to light.
