A Saturday ramble at Fingle Bridge

The Heather and Gorse Clog Morris Dancers organised a ramble to celebrate the New Year and we met on a beautiful sunny January Saturday at the Fingle Bridge Inn.

My wife Elizabeth and I joined our group of friends some of whom took their walking very seriously judging by the Nordic walking poles and huge woolly caps!  Others were... [more]

Holystreet Manor, Chagford

I am wondering if anyone remembers the school in Chagford at Holystreet Manor. I went to this school in the mid 1950s and at the time it was called St Brides, later to be re-named Holystreet Manor School with a change of Principal. I believe it closed down shortly after.
I lived in Moretonhampstead at the time (my parents were managers... [more]

Reverend Green

I remember the Reverend Green used to come to North Bovey School and tel us some very interesting stories of his travels in Africa and other countries where he had travelled. Does anyone remember Miss Jones and Mrs Watton? I went to North Bovey School from 1958-1964. I loved North Bovey and its school, they sure have changed, times, haven't they?... [more]

THe New Inn

My parents ran the New Inn (now The Nobody Inn) when my grandmother died, and we moved from Higher Ashton to take over the tenancy. The Pub was owned by the St Annes Well Brewery who operated from Exeter. Many memories flow from those days. School with Miss Mary Wippell Mallet who had the typical bun hairstyle, and lived with her... [more]

35 years in Newton St Cyres

We moved into Shuttern Cottage in Pump Street in 1965, long before local developents started. It was quiet then, with little traffic, but the inevitable happened - first Woodlans, then Court Orchard, then lots else, but the atmosphere remained good and things for the good happened. The Recreation Ground in Station Road was set up, a rebuild of the Parish Hall... [more]

Teignmouth Photographic Memories

Skirts and hair were shorter than ever before in the new decade! A two hour horse-drawn carriage ride for four people cost two shillings (10p). A Spanish Oak planted as a cen- trepiece when Victoria became Queen in 1837 was felled to make way for 1920s public lavatories. Electric street lighting was in its infancy. The Belgian Urn on the Triangle was presented by refugees... [more]

Teignmouth Photographic Memories

A more casual style prevails in 1955. Now the tower of St Michael`s Church is more obvious, following the destruc- tion of numbers 1 and 2 Esplanade (the Berkeley and Esplanade Hotels) in September 1942.

Teignmouth Photographic Memories

Holidays at British resorts were thriving in the 1940s. Large stacks of deck chairs punctuated the prom- enade. Ice cream was delivered in aluminium boxes, some can be seen beneath the serving hatch.
