Topsham once supported a multitude of different shops and tradesmen. Do come and see photographs from the Museum collection showing how these shops looked,where they were, what they sold and who ran them.
We will be using many oral history recollections as well as census information, photographs, newspaper advertisements and even printed paper bags to trace the history of some of the buildings in Fore Street and High Street.
Lunchtime Lecture, Tuesday 25th October - Topsham's Shops Then and Now presented by Mark Dant and Liz Hodges. 1145 for 1230. Coffee available and soup and crusty bread after the lecture. Free Admission.
