Exeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Exeter St David's is served by all services, whilst Exeter Central is more convenient for the city centre but served only by local services and the main line route to London Waterloo. Exeter was at first a Parliamentary town in the English Civil War in the largely Royalist South West, but it was captured by the Royalists on the 4th of September 1643 and it remained in their control until near the end of the war. Exeter was also a port: the limit of tides of the River Exe lies below Exeter, and the small town of Topsham on the estuary (nowadays within the city limits) developed as a port for the city, but goods were transported to the city's quays in lighters. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Exeter   (2284 words)

Medieval St Davids was bleak and relatively unpopulated well away from the main roads to London and Bristol. Traffic to the Cloth and Wool manufacturing towns of Barnstaple and Tiverton was via the City's East gate thus by-passing St Davids completely. members.fortunecity.com /stuartcallon/stdavids.html   (1807 words)
