Museums in Devon

Cobbaton Combat Collection    Cobbaton Military Museum is billed as 'A Hobby which got out of hand'. It certainly did! Preston Isaac had a passion for World War II, and his collection of military paraphernalia, including tanks, guns, helmets, artillery, bombs, and other weapons. But the 'Home Front' is equally well represented, with the collection including ration books, blackout lamps, civilian gas masks, as well as Home Guard and ARP uniforms.

Quay House Visitor Centre    An integral part of the transportation system, the Quay House with its overhanging roof was used to store goods destined for canal transportation.

It is also a useful starting point for touring the city, as it provides visitor information (and Quayside treasure hunts!). 46 The Quay, Exeter, Devon, England, EX2 4AN Attraction Type: Museum Website: Quay House Visitor Centre Email: quayhouse@exeter.gov.uk Phone: 01392 271 611 Location map OS SX921 921 Heritage Rating:   ?
