February 2009

A very warm welcome to February’s issue of Stop Press in these chilly times!
In 2009 Britain celebrates the birth of one of its most famous men, Charles Darwin, so in this month’s issue we take a look at the man behind the monkeys and his links with Torbay.

Our series on the Westcountry continues with a look at one of the most important aspects of this region’s economy, its tourism, and its importance to the people who live and work here.

Have you seen the latest blockbuster at the Apollo cinema in Paignton? Or watched other films to help improve your English? Kevin Ryland brings us the first part of his  “History of the Cinema” where he looks at the early days of this entertainment phenomenon.

For those of you at a loose end and wanting to explore we’ve given you the low-down on Babbacombe and St Marychurch.
