Digby was a small village[citation needed] on the eastern edge of the city of Exeter in Devon, England. Between 1886 and 1987 it was the location of Exeter Borough Asylum known as Digby Hospital.[1] Today it is mainly an area of housing, out-of-town retail and light industrial developments on the outskirts of the city, served by Digby and Sowton railway station.
