Exeter Medieval Bridge. Taken in the 1860s this shows surviving late 17th century timber-framed houses balanced on the arches of the medieval bridge. The tower of St Edmund's church is to the left. Houses demolished in 1880s. Source: Demolition Exeter
"A drawing of the medieval Exe Bridge by the early 19th century historian Alexander Jenkins c1806. It shows the houses that were built on the arches at either end of the bridge. The six arches in the centre remained clear of buildings and never seem to have had any structures on them." (Source: Demolition Exeter)

Stepcote Hill circa 1920, Exeter
The fascinating photograph above © Devon County Council was taken in 1923. The sloping slate roof of St Stephen's Church is in the foreground on the left. In the background is the slate-hung side wall of the former New Inn. The twin gables of the Devonshire Arms are in the centre of the photo. Part of the 10-light window on the second floor is also visible. It's a great pity that no detailed record survives of the building.
The image above © Devon County Council shows an evocative jumble of 17th century properties on the east side Stephen Street in 1923. The photo must've been taken from a first-floor window in St Catherine's Almshouses. The 15th century almshouses stood in Catherine Street almost opposite the narrow entrance into Stephen Street.

"The aerial photograph from c1930 shows part of the West Quarter and the leats of Exe Island. The Custom House is bottom right. St Edmund's Church is highlighted in red. Almost none of the buildings shown now survive. Many were swept away as part of slum clearances in the 1930s but the majority were demolished in the 1960s and 1970s during the creation of the inner bypass. The area today is completely unrecognisable. Similar devastation occurred outside the South Gate." source: Demolition

The painting by John Abbot White above dates to 1797 and shows a market taking place in the High Street. The artist must've been leaning out of the first floor window of No. 45 High Street to get this view (the decorative cornice of No. 46 is visible to the far left). Source: Demolition Exeter
"Detail from Benjamin Donn's 1765 map of Exeter shows medieval bridge before it was replaced in 1770s. Most of the structure is obscured by housing. The old houses that stood on the bridge are particularly interesting. It seems that nearly two-thirds of the bridge once had houses on it with only the central six arches being left free of structures. The medieval houses were deliberately destroyed during the English Civil War but they were replaced between 1650 and 1700. Source: Demolition Exeter.
Medieval Exe Bridge, Exeter, Devon. "The 1727 drawing by antiquarian William Stukeley. It shows view across the river from suburb of St Thomas to St Edmund's Church. The church's bell tower is visible at the far end of the bridge." (Source: Demolition Exeter)

"Detail showing the High Street from Hogenberg's 1587 map of Exeter. The East Gate is at the top. Below The Guildhall, depicted before it acquired its portico, is Broadgate with the Broad Gate leading into the cathedral precinct. The tower of St Petrock's is almost obscured by houses. At the very end of the street, standing in the centre of the road, is the Great Conduit where the High Street met North Street, South Street and Fore Street. Source: Demolition Exeter:
"Hogenberg's 1587 plan of the city, based on a drawing by John Hooker, shows the Exe Bridge in some detail, left. In reality the bridge had more arches than is shown but St Edmund's church is visible towards the West Gate, as is Frog Street. The plan also shows the recesses in the bridge used by pedestrians to keep out of the way of carts. Various mills and leats can also seen. The mills were used for fulling cloth, upon which much of Exeter's medieval and early post-medieval wealth was based."

St Edmund's church tower ruins & medieval bridge, Exeter, Devon. "church probably went downhill after Georgian Exe Bridge opened in 1770s, although Jenkins claimed in 1806 that "the whole of the decorations & furniture in this small edifice is kept in perfect repair". Effectively sidelined as New Bridge Street made an easier entry into the city from west. St Edmund's was always one of Exeter's smaller medieval parishes even before the new bridge built. Church last used for regular services 1956
