Devon Rural Archive: Exhibition of the role of local shops
Shilstone, Modbury, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 0TW
The Exhibition is open during our normal operating hours, Wednesday to Sunday from 10.30am - 4.00pm, within the Heritage Open Days week.
Located at the Devon Rural Archive, Shilstone, Modbury, South Devon.
The Devon Rural Archive was set up as part of the beautiful Shilstone Estate, as a way of encouraging the interest in the Historic Buildings, Landscapes, and Way of Life of Rural Devon. Through sharing our collection of Shop Photos from our Image Bank, we hope to highlight the importance of local shops, often family run businesses, over time from across the county.
