There are tales of witchcraft, tunnels by the harbour, the Scold Stone in the river and a mummified mouse preserved in a pub.With tales of remarkable characters, unusual events and tucked away or disappeared historical buildings and locations, Secret Dartmouth will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of this town in Devon.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
