I've always wondered whether this building, unusual-looking for public toilets, has had a past life. Viv Wilson's book of then-and-now photos, 'Teignmouth through time', confirms: "The Victorian Local Board offices and Market Hall of 1883 were destroyed by enemy action in August 1942. The remaining fragment of the original building is a public convenience." Brunswick Street dates from about 1817. Update: 1 March 2013. The helpful volunteers at the museum believe that the building right of centre was the Rates office. The site of the main council offices and the fire station, both destroyed, is now the Brunswick Street car park. Image http://www.teignheritage.org.uk
