'Brixham as a maritime town would have seen many black sailors in its streets'. Thank you for this post, making the lesser-known aspects of our town's history visible

It's great to unite in keeping the fish hawkers alive...

Special for me personally too as this forms a thread between two projects for me as a Producer..#Fishhawkers with artist activist @shelleycastle1 and Encounters Arts @BrixhamMuseum in 2018 and now in 2020 #CreateToRecover with @RobertGarnham @TorbayCulture
