Devon memories

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.

The field in your picture where the sheep roam is now a football field and a park for the children of Rockbeare.

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!
In the Home there was large shared bathing rooms of 6 that you could screen off your bath while bathing. They were the most enormous cast iron white baths that when... Read more

I looked at this and thought, 'I've seen that somewhere before!' I have a very similar photograph taken in May 2009. Building seems as if it has been locked in time looking at this photo. Wonderful!
