About Fencing in Newton Abbot
Newton Abbot in Devon was granted a market charter in 1220 and grew steadily through the Middle Ages, but it was the arrival of the South Devon Railway in 1846 that truly transformed the town into a communications and industrial hub, with branch lines to Torquay following in 1848 and Moretonhampstead in 1866. Isambard Kingdom Brunel used the stretch of line between Newton Abbot and Teignmouth to trial his short lived atmospheric railway, and the surviving pumping house remains at nearby Starcross today.
