Eggbuckland

Eggbuckland is a suburb of the city of Plymouth, in the ceremonial county of Devon, England.

Before the Second World War Eggbuckland was a small village a few miles north of Plymouth.

The village was held by the Royalist Cavaliers during the Civil War against the Parliamentarian Roundheads and was badly damaged.

During the 19th century the area was host to new Palmerston Forts built as part of a northern defense line around Plymouth.

In the 1870s, the original village was described thus in John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales: In 1931 the civil parish of Egg Buckland had a population of 2494.
