Topsham town is unusual in having a high density of pubs in a village-sized area, but it once, in its days as a thriving river port, had many more. This illustrated book documents the remaining ones, those whose buildings are still extant in alternative use, and 14 known to exist historically. It also includes some pub poems, and a local walk – or a “crawl” – that visits all the locations of past and present pubs listed. Author: Colin Piper
