When you imagine what was lost over the years, you have to question whether (most probably) the council members were getting back-handers from the property developers.

According to the 1901 census, John Richard Coombes (born 20/6/1881 Exeter) and his brother Arthur Coombes (born c. 1885) were living at 8 Paul Street, Richmond Place, Exeter, together with William Henry Hoyle, wife Susan Jane Hoyle (nee Coombes) and daughter Mabel Hoyle.<br />John Richard Coombes is married and living in Edmonton in 1911. Was the move caused by the imminent demolition of this area I wonder?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882578413887103850.post-73235137394021228632012-11-12T17:35:39.913+00:002012-11-12T17:35:39.913+00:00Your whole blog is fascinating but the vandalism o...Your whole blog is fascinating but the vandalism of Paul Street is just unbelievable.
