Top View Stores
I lived at the house on the left - The Chalet. I lived here from 1938 -1959. The eastern end of the house was the village shop and was known as Top View Stores. Records of the house were traced back as early as 1784. When the roof was recently refurbished, the original timbers and roof joists were un-trimmed and had the branch stumps attached. The footings for the walls also consisted of large boulders dating back to its construction and were obtained from the beach nearby.
In 1947 the snow was higher than the walls and fences at the front of the house. During WW2 the west end of the house was used by troops based nearby for recreation and ...read more here

Extracts From Ulrome & North Humberside books
A large platform with huge oak supporting piles was discovered here in 1880. It is believed to have been a dwelling that once stood upon a lake, perhaps in the Bronze Age. The end house is in use as a shop, which would have served the caravan park on the land next to it.

Greystone Bridge is ‘the fairest bridge in the two shires it links together’, according to Charles Henderson and Henry Coates in ‘Old Cornish Bridges and Streams’. Today it carries the A384 to Tavistock.
An extract from from"Hull Town and City Memories".
‘Chain Bridge was a great attraction for me and my friends. We always built a hut in the woods — and would like to have slept there, but weren’t allowed to. We cooked anything cookable we could get hold of, pinching potatoes and turnips from fields on the way there, and apples from orchards. We used to build bridges from island to island or spend hours killing vipers which abounded in a limestone tip heap. Daft we were; why we weren’t bitten I don’t know. Occasionally we made 6d by bringing home a basket of blackberries or elderberries for someone. Such was the summer holiday of a working-class boy’. Mr Cecil Cole, talking of his childhood in the early years of the 20th century, quoted in Arthur Bate Venning and Arthur Wills’ book ‘Yesterday’s Town’.
An extract from from"Hull Town and City Memories".
This Victorian structure replaced the old bridge. The metal central span was later rebuilt using stone, and until the building of the by-pass in 1974 it carried the heavy traffic of the A30. Today it carries only local traffic, such as visitors to Launceston Rugby Club, whose ground is nearby.
An extract from from"Hull Town and City Memories".
This beautiful old bridge still stands next to the ford, and although often called a packhorse bridge, it was probably built to allow the priors to travel between St Stephens and St Thomas; hence its more correct name of Prior’s Bridge.
