Teignmouth has a fascinating history, shaped by the sea, the River Teign, local businesses, artists, fishermen, community groups and the generations of people who have called the town home.
In this collection of Teignmouth history and local stories, we explore the people, places, events and everyday moments that have helped shape this unique Devon seaside town.
