I think High street was second, but I am dragging this a long way back from my memory so I could be wrong...

Newton Abbot is in Devon, ten miles or so south west from Exeter. Its got a race course and was where Brunel's failed atmospheric railway went to, but there's not much else to commend it.
There's also a place in Devon called Newton Ferres (or something like).
