Brixham

Administrative Port: Brixham
County: Devon
Population: 16693

Brixham is a small but busy fishing town in the county of Devon, England. Fishing and tourism are its major industries. In the Middle Ages, Brixham was the largest fishing port in the south west of England. Known as the 'Mother of Deep-Sea Fisheries', its boats helped to establish the fishing industries of Hull, Grimsby and Lowestoft. In the 1890s, there were about 300 trawling vessels in Brixham, most individually owned. The trawlers can still be seen coming in and out of the harbour today, with Brixham being one of Britain’s busiest ports.
