120 years of Teignmouth’s history will be celebrated at the Teignmouth Pavilions next month

The latest show to be presented by Viv Wilson MBE at the Pavilions is scheduled for Saturday, February 11. 

Starting at 2.30pm the two-hour programme embraces a huge collection of images of Teignmouth over the past 120 years. 

The majority have not been shown to the public previously and are interleaved with brief video clips.

Topics included are the ‘Workhouse’ area, schools, famous visitors and locals including our Coastguards of the past. Significant buildings looked at will include Crownwell House at Devon Holiday village which has recently been sold. 

The unique Victorian dwelling has a surprising element that few people know about. 

Viv will also feature the Teignmouth Cup in a bid to track down its current whereabouts – believed to be in Australia. 

It has more significance than people realise and it is time its story was more widely known. 

With one month to go, more than one-third of the seats are already booked. When asked when or if she intends to retire, Viv replied she expects to stay in harness for the duration!
