We take a constant supply of clean water for granted nowadays, but it was not always so.

David Hinchliffe takes us from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century, out to Dartmoor and back again in the remarkable story of Water for Torquay.  From pumps and wells to a programme of reservoir construction, this is a scenic journey too.

St Anne’s Hall.  Doors open at 2pm and the talk starts at 2.30.
