Teignmouth in Devon

Teignmouth is a large seaside town, nestling below the Haldon Hills, it’s a fishing port and civil parish in the English county of Devon, situated on the north bank of the estuary mouth of the River Teign about 12 miles south of Exeter.

From the 1800s onwards, the town rapidly grew in size from a fishing port associated with the Newfoundland cod industry to a fashionable resort of some note in Georgian times, with further expansion after the opening of the South Devon Railway in 1846. Today, its port still operates and the town remains a popular seaside holiday location.

A brief History of Teignmouth

Documents indicate that Teignmouth was a significant port by the early 14th century, second in Devon only to Dartmouth. It was attacked by the French in 1340 and sent seven ships and 120 men to the expedition against Calais in 1347. Its relative importance waned during the 15th century, and it did not figure in an official record of 1577. This may have been due to silting up of the harbour caused by tin mining on Dartmoor.

Teignmouth became the second most popular health resort in Devon. The previous trades of salt production and fishing gave way to the demands of tourism. The 19th century saw an influx of new business and consequently a number of new buildings. Boat building was a major local industry and most commodities were brought in under sail. As local business increased so did waterway traffic. Clay and granite quarried nearby were important exports. The Quay is constructed from this granite.

There were a number of air raids during the Second World War, resulting in today’s interesting mix of architectural styles. Large Victorian buildings dominate the seafront whilst Georgian cottages line the narrow streets behind.

The Assembly Rooms, later to become the local cinema, were built in 1826 and a wooden toll bridge was constructed to cross the Teign at around the same time. The latter structure was replaced by a more substantial bridge in 1931. The bridge and old toll house are listed buildings.

A diminutive Orangery from 1842 can be found in Bitton Park. John Keats wrote part of Endymion whilst living in what is now known as Keats House in 1818. These attractive 19th century houses were the homes of such people as marine artist Thomas Luny and Charles Babbage, father of the computer. There are several fine Regency houses in the residential part of the town.

Today the small resort boasts a growing colony of artists. It also hosts live theatre, an annual jazz festival, a regatta and a carnival. There are lots of cycling and walking opportunities in the area in addition to many water sports. Only a few miles to the north east is the pretty resort of Dawlish, where the railway line hugs the coast offering fantastic views of the rocky shore.
