When the Romans ruled the place, rich people lived in houses made of stones and mosaic floors that had underground heating. However, poor people lived in simple wooden huts. Back then, the town was not prosperous.

During the middle ages, Exeter was popular for making wool, its tanning industry; the town had plenty of craftsmen such as bakers, chefs, butchers, brewers, carpenters, and black smiths, allowing the town to flourish. Life during the 18th century improved gradually, and the first banks, courts, hospitals, and bridges were built in the area.
