Located in the county of Devon, and around six miles north of Torquay, is the town of Teignmouth (pronounced 'TIN-muth').
It is believed that the Saxons inhabited the area today known as Teignmouth from as early as the 7th century. A church has stood on the site of St Michael's Church since the 11th century, although the present edifice dates from the 19th century.
Geographically, Teignmouth is situated at the north bank of the River Teign, whilst the village of Shaldon lies on the south bank. A ferry service between the two settlements has operated since all the way back to the 13th century. This is said to have the longest continuously recorded working history of all ferry services in England.
By the early 14th century, Teignmouth had become a significant port. It has been invaded by the French on two occasions. The first occurred in 1340, whilst the second happened in 1690. In the case of the latter, the French fleet attacked whilst the king at the time, William III, was fighting in the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland. The French, according to a contemporary account, burned over 100 houses and 10 or more ships in the space of 12 hours. This is said to have been the last invasion of England by a foreign state (excluding John Paul Jones's raid on Whitehaven during the American Revolutionary War).
For several centuries, fishing was the main industry in Teignmouth. Many fisherman would spend the months of March to October in Newfoundland before returning home. From the late 18th century onwards, the area developed into a fashionable 'watering place', in keeping with the trends of the time. One of its most famous visitors was poet John Keats, who came here in 1818 to look after his ailing brother, Tom. Whilst here, Keats completed the fourth book of Endymion, and wrote another epic poem ‘Isabella’ (a.k.a. ‘The Pot of Basil’).
In 1826 The Riviera was built. This is the name given to the neoclassical building at the very start of the walk. It was originally a Georgian assembly room, but later converted into a cinema. It is situated just opposite The Den - the name given to the green patch next to the promenade. The Den was once used by fishermen who would hang their nets to dry here prior to Teignmouth's development as a seaside resort.
In 1827 Shaldon Bridge opened, linking Teignmouth to the village of Shaldon across the River Teign. At the time it was the longest wooden bridge in England. The current bridge dates from 1931.
In 1846 the railway arrived in Teignmouth courtesy of the South Devon Railway Company. This brought about significant growth in the area. Today the station is situated on the Riviera Line which runs between Exeter and Paignton.
In the 1860s Teignmouth Pier was built, and was initially around 210 metres/700 ft long. Initially it served as a landing stage for visitors arriving by pleasure steamers in the Victorian era, in addition to providing entertainment. During the Second World War it was one of several piers to be partially dismantled in order to mitigate the risk of a German invasion. Teignmouth was bombed during the war, with 79 citizens killed and over 200 buildings destroyed.
Rock band Muse formed in Teignmouth in 1994.
