*************************************************************************************************
Newton Abbot is a market town and civil parish on the River Teign in the Teignbridge District of Devon, England, with a population of 25,556. It grew rapidly in the Victorian era as the home of the South Devon Railway locomotive works. This later became a major steam engine shed, retained to service British Railways diesel locomotives until 1981. It now houses the Brunel industrial estate. The town has a race course nearby, the most westerly in England, and a country park, Decoy.
There has been a thriving market in Newton Abbot for over 750 years.
Newton Abbot railway station stands at the east end of Queen Street. It provides both local and long-distance train services.
The South Devon railway reached Newton Abbot in 1846, and changed it from simply a market town with associated trades (leather and wool) into an industrial base. The South Devon Railway Company opened the station on 30 December 1846. A branch to Torquay was added on 18 December 1848. Isambard Kingdom Brunel used the Teignmouth/Newton Abbot section to experiment with his atmospheric railway. The experiment failed, but the remains of Brunel's pumping house survive at Starcross and the old Dairy Crest milk processing factory in Totnes.
In medieval times Devon was an important sheep-rearing county. Many towns had their own wool and cloth industries and Newton Abbot had woollen mills, fullers, dyers, spinners, weavers and tailors. In particular, fellmongering (where wool is removed from the sheepskin) was well established in the town. The annual cloth fair was the town's busiest fair.
Associated with the woollen industry was the leather business. Hides left after the fellmongering process were made into leather. Tanners, boot and shoemakers, glovers and saddlers were all in business in Newton Abbot. As with the wool industry, business flourished over 600 years until after the Second World War.
St Leonard's Tower, Newton Abbot, popularly known as The Clock Tower, is a Grade II listed building in Newton Abbot. It was constructed in the 15th-century as part of a Gothic style church and was the site of William III's first proclamation in England (although he had not yet become king). The church was demolished in 1836 to improve traffic flows but the tower was saved by a local petition. St Leonard's Tower is approximately 60 feet in height and built of Plymouth stone. A church had sat on this site, in the centre of Newton Abbot and the meeting point of its three main streets, since 1220 and is mentioned in a surviving document of 1350. Today the tower is owned by the Newton Abbot Town Council and looked after by the Newton Abbot Museum who open it to the public for free on selected days between May and September. The tower, known locally as "The Clock Tower", has been described as the most conspicuous building on Wolborough Street and the town's best known landmark. The tower also appears on the flag of Newton Abbot, adopted in 2009.
The Flag of Newton Abbot was adopted in 2009 by the town council. It depicts a stylised image of St. Leonard's Tower defacing a modified flag of Devon. Henry Cole, of Newton Abbot Town Council, stated that the "green represents the moors, black for the granite and white for the clay" of the surrounding area. The cross of St Petroc is also used to represent a major crossroads in the town which converged on the clock tower. The arm of the cross represent the routes to Exeter and London, Bovey Tracey and the moors, Totnes and Plymouth, and Torquay and Brixham.
Newton Abbot Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located just north of Newton Abbot, Devon, England. The course was first established in 1866 when the 91-acre site was purchased. The main grandstand was built in 1969 and opened by the Queen Mother, while the corporate facilities were opened in 1990. In 2016 the racecourse celebrated its 150th anniversary.
Tucked into a corner of the racecourse, Newton Abbot's stock-car track flourished for nearly 30 years and attracted fans and drivers from all over the South of England.
Newton Abbot Museum displays the history of Newton Abbot and of the Great Western Railway.

So relaxing and beautiful walk in rain! Wonderful ambience and so pretty city. Thank you for the tour :-)

[@TVJourneys]

Thanks very much my friend 😊💕

[@richardarthur-nycstories]

Believe me, wet and windy walks in the UK are something that I thoroughly enjoy. It may sound a bit strange, but it is one thing that I desperately miss about being in England, that feeling of being at home. It was interesting as I watched when you came across the William of Orange proclamation. I love fascinating stories like that, things that you wouldn't immediately know about a place. To be honest, all I knew about Newton Abbott was that they had a racetrack, lol.

[@TVJourneys]

Thanks Richard. I'm finding it so interesting learning about the different places i'm filming. The history of Newton Abbot was fascinating. I had no idea! Yes it's well known for the race course. Hope you have a good weekend 😊💕

We were in the same areas... just so glad we didn’t have so much rain! Since we don’t live in Britain, we had a very limited time to do all of our vlogging! Nice to see that you use an umbrella to keep your gimbal and camera dry... I was wondering about that!

[@TVJourneys]

It looks like you had lovely weather when you were here. I thought i would try filming some walks in the rain, it was a challenge holding the umbrella and gimbal in the wind and rain but i enjoyed it 💕

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

[@devon896]

The market walk upgrade is kind of funny. The canopy isn't long enough and then it comes out into a massive open area that looks old and dull. I wish they had repaved with the newer paving all the way up the high street rather than ending at Austins.

[@susansinclair4914]

Isn't it strange how everyone's different? I see so many comments here saying 'lovely town' or 'relaxing walk' and that's great. But personally, I picked up the atmosphere in this town was almost like someone had died. Everyone seemed as if the very life had been sucked out of them. I lived in Newton Abbot for over ten years and it was pretty nice although certainly not exciting. But I remember it being so much more full of life with people laughing even on cold wet wintery days. Thanks for the walk anyway.

[@TVJourneys]

Yes it's interesting how we all see things differently. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

Though it’s raining, that was a nice walking tour! The clock tower looks old but must be a great heritage.

[@TVJourneys]

Thanks very much my friend 💕

[@nigelheath7048]

I've only just found this. Thanks for the positive comments on my home town, sadly like a lot of town centres it has changed a lot. Newton Abbot is an old market town and the clock tower actually used to have a chapple attached. It's claim to fame is that in 1688 William of Orange landed in nearby Brixham and marched to Newton Abbot and was proclaimed king of England.

[@Silomroad]

Like 😁👍, very good

[@TVJourneys]

Thank you so much my friend 🤗💕
