More about this scene
The River Otter meets the sea just to the east of Budleigh Salterton after a 30-mile journey across Somerset and East Devon. The river's estuary has been silted up for centuries, but in medieval times a prosperous port once lined the Otter's banks. The mouth of the Otter is now an important nature reserve, famed for is wild birds.

By 1951 this had become Joy's Bakery - the Joys were wonderful people, and the bread was 'to die for!'
As I recall, the 2nd house on the left was a sweet shop run by two old ladies. You were served over a half door, so you didn't need to enter the shop. I walked, with my elder brother, to this shop the day sugar rationing ended. I could not understand how we could get sweets without our ration books. I was afraid we would get arrested!
