The House That Moved, Exeter
The House That Moved is an incredible story from Exeter in Devon. This timber-framed Tudor house dates from around 1430. It was originally the Merchant’s House located at 16, Edmund Street, Exeter and was scheduled for demolition in 1961 to make way for the new inner bypass road.
The building was Grade II listed just in time to save it, and it was schedule for moving instead. The house was moved around 90 metres down the road to West Street by the Old West Gate and is now a hugely popular attraction within the city. You can read about its move on the Exeter Memories website.
How crazy is that, actually moving a whole building down the road, especially such an old and delicate one?!

My Local Landmarks series are a collection of hand-drawn illustrations that I have chosen to draw because they mean something to me - maybe I just love a building or the character, or have memories of fun family trips there, or I think they represent my home county of Devon in an interesting way.
I have illustrated them in pencil then pen and ink, with all the characterful features explored in beautiful detail.
This print will be treasured for years to come and will certainly make a talking point!
A4 sized prints, supplied unframed so you can frame them to suit your interior.
