Description
A rather spooky hotel on a moonlit night in Brixam.
ZOOMAGE RECOMENDED!
Brixham is a small fishing town and civil parish in the county of Devon, in the south-west of England. The town is hilly, and built around the harbour which remains in use as a dock for fishing trawlers.
Although there is evidence of Ice age inhabitants here and probable trading in the Bronze age, the first evidence of a town comes from Saxon times. It is possible that Saxon settlement originated by sea from Hampshire in the sixth century, or overland around the year 800.
Brixham was called Briseham in the Domesday Book. Its population then was 39.
Brixham was part of the former Haytor Hundred. The population was 3,671 in 1801 and 8,092 in 1901. In 1334, the town's value was assessed at one pound, twelve shillings and eightpence; by 1524, the valuation had risen to �£24 and sixteen shillings. It is recorded as a borough from 1536, and a market is recorded from 1822.
William Prince of Orange (afterwards King William III of Great Britain & Ireland) landed in Brixham with his mainly Dutch army, on 5 November 1688, during the Glorious Revolution, and issued his famous declaration "The Liberties of England and The Protestant Religion I Will Maintain". Many local people still have Dutch surnames, being direct descendants of soldiers in that army. A road leading from the harbour up a steep hill to where the Dutch made their camp, is still called Overgang, meaning 'passage' in Dutch.
Have a nice weekend.
