Newcourt is a suburb of Exeter and Topsham in Devon, England, located between Digby and Topsham. It has a railway station and forms part of the electoral ward of Topsham.[1] Other local amenities include a school and a community centre.[2][3]
History
editDuring World War II, much of the land at Newcourt was used as a US Navy Supply Depot due to the strong transport links of Exeter.[4] This facility was instrumental in the Normandy landings. In 2010, Exeter City Council produced a masterplan for Newcourt to include provisions for 3,500 homes to be built by 2026.[5]
