Young Lad on The Platforms
I was a 10 year old lad living at the Alexandra Inn now known as the Hungry Fox pub.
Being a keen rail fan then and as now, wandering around the station and the platforms watching trains was a regular past time. Of course I used it when we went to Exeter or on one of my many trips back to London. Sad it is all gone.
Lowbrook
The field in your picture where the sheep roam is now a football field and a park for the children of Rockbeare.

There Was Always The Ghost Stories...
In 1973 having just left school that summer, I started my State Registered Nurse training with tutor Miss Wilmot at this Southernhay Hospital.
Being a 'young lady' from Bristol my new colleagues and I were expected to live in the Nurses Home with a larger than life home matron Miss Hermitage. The Nurses Home was behind the hospital between Wynards Lane and Southernhay Gardens where there was an access lane. It was a red brick 4 story building that you could see the back of Southernhay and some of the multi-walkways and verrandas linking the many buildings such as the casualty block to the corridor towards the childrens wards and theatres. I remember being shown around one of the theatres that had a filled in fireplace at an angle in the corner of the room space!

Bishop Blackall School 1947-51
Does anyone remember the fascinating history with Miss Vaudrey or the English Lit with Miss Chappell, or scary maths with Miss Parkinson? Or Timothy Whites in the High Street? Happy times.
Budlake Post Office
What an amazing place! The old post office in Budlake has been preserved by the National Trust and it is absolutely fascinating getting close up to the village shop goods and the post office stamps and stationery from the 1950's!
The National Trust staff allow visitors supervised access behind the counter where you can handle pounds shillings and pence from pre- £ s d days! Also enjoy remembering things like the old postal orders that I used to receive for half a crown almost sixty years ago.
Pure nostalgia and what memories! This is one National Trust property you really MUST see!
I visited with my wife Elizabeth and sister-in-law Margaret and we couldn't stop talking about it afterwards as it was so lovely. They also have a cottage garden attached which is attractive.
