More about this scene

Although only a few miles from Plymouth to the south and Tavistock to the north, Bere Alston feels quite remote, situated on the peninsula between the Tamar and Tavy. Before the arrival of the railway, only eight years before this picture was taken, the sense of isolation must have been even greater.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in Tavistock in 1941, but my family lived in Bere Alston until 1947. We lived in a house called The Firs, but perhaps it is no longer there. My father was the doctor and during the Second World War, the local inhabitants petitioned Parliament so that their doctor would not be called up into the army. The end of the war was celebrated in the village and I remember that the streets were filled with long tables for a huge Victory Party.
