Dellers Summer Cafe - Paignton

[Devon Dumpling]

Thanks, Mog - if you have any questions about South Devon, I am quite knowledgable about the area - I was born in Paignton.

Dear DD
Than we are a pair of DDs
I was born in Torquay but my mother was from Brixham and I have found that the most fascinating part of my tree.  But I have not lived there for a long time - so help is always appreciated.

I'll confess- another DD here. Born and raised in Torquay (Ellacombe). Went away in the late 60s then returned home in the 90s.

Dear Sue
I am also interested in the reply to your question.  My grandfather Samuel Clift lived at 3, Dellars Cottages, Paignton in 1915.  Someone suggested that the Dellars owned the cafe and the cottages.

Hello Eveyone, I know this is an old thread but hope someone might revisit it. My great grandfather (we think) William Albert Harvey, is listed as having lived a 3 Dellers Cottages in 1914, where his son William John was born to my great grandmother Beatrice White, who was known as "Bessie" at the time. Does anyone know anything about this family or any more about this address?

All the best, a rootschat newbie.

Dear CanadianGuy
This is a spooky coincedence - my grandfather

3 Dellars Cottages
Your family must have lived there just before
Sorry - I know nothing about the house - but would love to

By the way - welcome to rootschat

Thanks for the links of Dellars Cafe
Several different buildings on different sites I would suggest
But where are the cottages?
Was Dellar a family name in that area - and they rented cottages also?

Mog,

You won't believe it but I have the address for #3 Dellers Cottages. It was, at that time, 98 Winner Street, Paignton. The street has since been renumbered and it is now 78/81 Winner street. I'm now looking for where they moved next.

Here's link to the address on Google Maps (I've used TinyUrl to make is shorter): http://tinyurl.com/ckafva

Update on Dellers Summer Cafe. When I was in Paignton recently I noticed that the building looked somewhat tired and in need of some TLC. Maybe it was because it is Winter and a lot of buildings are closed at this time of year.
