This attractive view of London Street, taken about 1908 by photographer Sam Taylor, was shared by Geoff Merritt. On the left is the Temperance Hall built in 1868 and a little further up hangs the sign of tailor Samuel Baverstock at Douglas House. The imposing building to the right (Elliott House), with its little shop at the far end, extended to the corner of Winchester Street and was demolished a century ago, possibly because it became a traffic hazard on a blind and increasingly busy corner. Next to it can be seen the Forester’s Arms, named after the large Forester’s Hall built next to it in 1878, a popular friendly society of its day that helped to protect its paid-up members who fell on hard times. Before the hall was built, the inn was called the Rising Sun, a name given to it during the 1830s. Prior to that it was known as the Lower Angel, one of the smaller coaching inns on the main route from Exeter to London.
