About Devon in the 1920s
In the 1920s Devon emerged from the Great War. It was a time of ‘Sunshine’ and ‘Shadows’
People were able to enjoy themselves. There were new houses and jobs. Inventions such as the motor vehicle made life easier.
But for others bereavement was slow to heal. Domestic drudgery like fetching water from the well continued. Technological change meant redundancy.
Festival events explore both these sides of life in the 1920s.
