Title: Exeter and environs photos
Post by: Roobarb on Sunday 15 October 06 17:04 BST (UK)

I have noticed that Slightlyfoxed is offering photos of Exeter area. I'm not sure whether Topsham would be included in this, my ancestors lived at 61 Lower Shapter Street and 66 Shapter Street. I have found photos of Shapter Street on the web but no indication of what number. They also lived at 59 Fore Street, Littleham. I get the idea that these places are next to each other, would that be right? I would be very grateful for any photos as it's such a long way to Devon from where I live. Can't pop down for the day but perhaps I will plan an expedition next summer.  8)

Hi Roobarb

If you do a Google search on the images for Topsham, it brings up loads of photos.

Also there is a website - www.topsham.org which may be of help to you.

Good Luck

Littleham is in Exmouth -so about 5 miles away from Topsham,
White street in Topsham still exists but I'm not sure whether the numbers are still the same.

Wow, a reply to my post after more than ten years, that's amazing!  :o ;D ;D

Thanks familyfinder33, I've been down to Topsham three times since my original post, it's a beautiful place and I got a very strong sense of belonging from my first visit. I haven't visited Littleham yet, I spent a long time at the archives in Exeter when I visited, will have to make a point of going to Littleham next time I'm down there.  :)
