In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Meadfoot like this:
MEADFOOT, a suburb of Torquay, in Devon. It lies around what was once a secluded cove; is an entirely modern place; and comprises crescents, terraces, wide streets, and lines of villas, continuous with Torquay. A pretty coom ascends from Meadfoot Sands to Ilsham.
Meadfoot is now part of TORBAY Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how TORBAY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Meadfoot itself, go to Statistics.
