History

Before the 1970s, if you visited the pub and turned your eyes upwards you would have seen that the entire ceiling in the lounge bar was covered with signatures of wartime service men and women. Subsequently the Inn underwent refurbishment and the ceiling panels were removed . They were rescued by a member of a local company and kept in storage until relocated by Tom Harcus of the RAFA to a new home at the Association’s premises in Exmouth. The committee carefully cleaned, preserved and displayed them at the RAFA Exmouth branch for a time, finally removing them once again to storage where they have been ever since.

This website has been complied as a tribute to those wartime personnel and as a thank you to the RAFA of Exmouth for preserving the memories and for all the hard work that the Association does today for service men and women
