About this Event

Topsham and World War II

Come and join us at Countess Wear Village Hall for an exhibition exploring the history of Topsham and Countess Wear during World War II, with a focus on the preparations for D-Day. The Exeter Golf and Country Club in Countess Wear played a significant role in the lead up to D-Day, as a US Naval Stores base; and our airforce used the layout of the bridges on Bridge Road to prepare for their role in the liberation of France. Learn about this and much more in our exhibition. Whether you're a history buff or just curious, this event is sure to be insightful and engaging.
