Mundane Pictures of the West

[Elpenor]

I literally remember when that was a field (only about 4 years ago tbh..)

Yeah I sometimes think those houses aren’t that attractive but try not to be snobby about it because I am fairly certain people thought the same about my house when it was built 45 years ago

Yep, from one generation to the next. Some of those houses must have lovely views down the estuary too. One of the nicest new builds in the area I suspect, for residents anyway.

When I walked past yesterday the clyce was open and water rushing out.

Shaldon on a grey morning.

This one a bit less mundane

Shaldon eh? TRFC will be amazed to hear their ground has crossed the river

Oops I think I was probably looking at Shaldon when I typed that, as I was in the bridge

You may already know, you can walk tthe foreshore of the river from Town Quay in Newton, all the way along to Shaldon. It's part of a path called the Templer Way that runs up to (down from?) Hay Tor quarry and features the remains of a granite railway .. in this case both for transporting granite as well as actually being made out of granite. It's a very picturesque walk .. only when the tide is low though, otherwise I suppose it's a picturesque swim

Thanks I’ve just had a read of that. I fancy doing the walk at some point, I think I’ve seen the path when driving on the bridge over Hackney Marshes

[mojo pixy]

Just past town quay (or just across the river from there)

I can't work out which side this is taken from. Often pictures of Culm flooding show the chimney at Hele and that shows where everything is
