Tavistock is a small
market town in the South West of the UK. In its history, Tavistock was
centre of the tin mining industry. Barges filled with tin ore travelled
the Tavistock canal to the port at Morewellham Quay.
Until the 1960s, Tavistock had two railway stations and was on the main
line between Plymouth and London.
Doctor Beeching closed many such railways in the 1960's. May he rot in
Hell.
Nowerdays Tavistock has no industry except toursim. It is an ideal
place from which to explore Dartmoor.
