The largest city in
Devon in south-west
England. Historically, it was Britain's greastest naval base. Now one of Britain's few remaining naval dockyards, it is situated at the mouths of the rivers Plym
? and Tamar
?. Heavily blitzed by the
Luftwaffe during
World War II, Plymouth was one of the English cities to be rebuilt by [Lord Abercrombie]
? in the 1950s. Modern Plymouth is an agglomeration of three separate towns: Plymouth, Devonport and East Stonehouse; this amalgamation occurred in
1914.
Plymouth has a university, the [University of Plymouth]? which has a slight tendency to specialise in naval and maritime related disciplines.
The city has one football club which plays football at the national level, Plymouth Argyle F.C.. The Labour MP and former leader of the Labour Party, Michael Foot, is a Plymothian and is now a director of Plymouth Argyle.
