An invitation
from Brixham...
A exclusive Brixham
Trade Day will be taking place in a truly unusual location next
Monday (12th July) organised by the Brixham

the perfect opportunity to meet Brixham traders and pick up
leaflets and more information about the wealth of attractions,
events and activities on offer. |
| A special free ferry
will be running from Princess Pier in Torquay to Brixham every
45 minutes throughout the day, kindly provided by Greenway Ferry
and Pleasure Cruises. Simply mention you are a member of the tourism
industry. The event will also double as a special launch for the

Brixham
Heritage Museum
Brixham Heritage Museum
is putting together a display featuring women's achievements
in Brixham in a variety of fields, including politics, writing,
industry and supporting the fishing. Many also contributed
in other ways during the wars, or starting clubs such as swimming,
crafts or others.
We have discussed
the terminology and ideas to make it clear that we also want
to include ordinary women who worked alongside their menfolk
- rope-making, net-making, fish selling and preparing, etc.
We would be interested
to receive any information or photos relating to suffragette
Annie Kenney's visit to Brixham in 1910, and poets Priscilla
Shrives and Annie Tolcher.
