Topsham is a very attractive town, reflecting both its rural environment and its rich and varied building history. There are Dutch houses from its maritime past and fine examples of Georgian and Edwardian architecture. The historic character of the town has been maintained as much as possible. Apart from the images below, visit our History page for a link to Mick Cooper's collection of old postcards of Topsham.
