Mount Batten,situated close to the villages of Turnchapel,Hooe and Oreston,is a peninsula on the south-west Devon coast bounded by the estuary of the Cattewater (River Plym) and the waters of Plymouth Sound.Its hinterland stretches to the South Hams.Batten's headland is close to Plymouth,separated by a narrow channel of water,but the respective environments are very different.Mount Batten has a small civilian community that has only recently been established.Prior to this it was for 75 years and important RNAS/RAF seaplane station and was home to the legendary Lawrence of Arabia,who was stationed there from 1929-33 as an aircraftman involved with marine craft.Thus this region boasts a very special and fascinating local history,unique in Devon.
Through words and pictures this book explores the area's past,revealing many memories and photographs that have never before been published.
