Book excerpt: It is Devon's best-known folk song, but the ghost of Tom Pearse's old grey mare still leads historians on a never ending merry-go-round ride. The poor put-upon beast supposedly expired after carrying Uncle Tom Cobley and his band of fair-goers to Widecombe, but more than a century on mystery still surrounds the tragic journey across Dartmoor. Did it really happen, or is it all just a myth? According to a new book, there are still many unanswered questions surrounding the song. But the characters mentioned in it did exist - and they all came from mid-Devon. After more than two years of delving into the history of the famous fair, the Widecombe and District Local History Group concludes that its story, as with all legends and folklore, has elements of truth.

Book Synopsis The Little History of Devon by : Suze Gardner
Download or read book The Little History of Devon written by Suze Gardner and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, Devon was seen as unimportant because of its distance from London and its bad roads – lesser, it was thought, than the historical capital or culturally rich home counties. How wrong could non-Devonians have been? The county is all about its splendid prehistoric and historic remains, its myths, and its maritime legacy. That's not to forget the tenacious people who have lived there for thousands of years: wreckers, misbehaving clergymen, eccentrics and determined women who bucked the trends. From stories of early man right up to modern times and every period in-between, Devon (and this book) has it all.

Book Synopsis From Moorlands to Highlands: A History of Harris & Miners and Brian Harris Transport by : John Corah
Download or read book From Moorlands to Highlands: A History of Harris & Miners and Brian Harris Transport written by John Corah and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows the history and development of Brian Harris Transport Limited, the original red, green, and yellow liveried lorries that made the trek between Devon and Scotland at regular intervals for over fifty years. In 1946, Brian's father, Jerry, and Sam Miners formed Harris & Miners; with their fleet of two Ford trucks and one Commertipper, these two men took on the ultimate haulage challenge of the time: road vs. train. The outcome was that Harris & Miners were offered a contract to haul 'Devon Grate' Candy fire surrounds to Glasgow in 1947. Young Brian Harris began driving for his father in an Albion Chieftain in 1960. When Jerry Harris passed, Brian bought out the Miners family and the company became Brian Harris Transport Limited. With his fleet of ERF lorries fitted with Gardner engines, Brian set about running the company in a way only understood by him. Over the course of its existence, the company utilized a vast quantity of magnificent machines, including the first ERF 'A' series in that area, the Leyland Roadtrain and one Leyland DAF. Brian Harris died in April 2012 and his funeral was attended by over 600 people from all over the UK. This new edition gives an update to the events that have taken place since the second edition was published in 2007, including the eulogy given by the author at the funeral, as well as 82 previously unpublished photographs.
