Brixham
Town centre radiates around the central car park and bus station,
with Bolton Crossroads at one end of the town and the harbour
and The Strand at the other. Entering the Town along New Road
past shops, the Town Hall, Theatre and Museum, Bolton Cross
traffic lights mark the start of Fore Street.
Fore Street is the
pedestrianized shopping area where once water flowed in a tidal
creek right up to the Bolton Hotel.
In medieval times
a ferry service ran across from that hotel across to the Smugglers
Haunt and a reservoir was located where the Town Hall now stands.
In the opposite direction Bolton Street leads off the crossroads
with shops including laundry facilities right the way up to
the area once known as 'Cow Town'.
Overlooking the town
and Middle Street is All Saints Church, well worth a visit especially
at the 'Festival of the Sea' and the town offers many places
to take a break and enjoy a wide range of food and local fish
delights. |
