Paignton, Devon
Church Street, Paignton
Paignton is a seaside resort on Torbay in south Devon. We used to alternate
between Paignton, Bournemouth and Brighton for holidays in the 1950s. I once
had a month at Paignton - 2 weeks in a caravan at Goodrington and two weeks in
a boarding house. Torquay was a bit too posh to stay in those days - we used to
go there on the bus from Paignton for a day out.
