brianusa Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thanks Cap'n for those lovely evocative and nostalgic Devonshire pictures. Haven't been that way in many a year but it certainly awakened a few memories of similar autumn days a long time ago. Most of my byways are now bypassed so rarely get to see them when we return.

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted November 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2015 Here is a view of Brent Manor: 20151108_120030.jpg For Robin's information, here are some detailed views of the road junction next to the west-end railway bridge, and the area around the village hall: 20151108_120058.jpg 20151108_120117.jpg 20151108_120145.jpg 20151108_120238.jpg 20151108_120250.jpg The views from the west-end railway bridge: 20151108_120306.jpg 20151108_120327.jpg Village hall: 20151108_120338.jpg Looking along Station Road, with the site of the station on the right: 20151108_120345.jpg Looking back towards the road junction, with the village hall on the right hand side: 20151108_120416.jpg This conveniently dates the village hall for us: 20151108_120434.jpg The lych gate leading to the cemetery of St Petroc's Church: 20151108_120524.jpg Site of former signalbox, sadly demolished last year: 20151108_120711.jpg View from east end railway bridge of site of station: 20151108_120824.jpg Now, this is the current view across the station, which I think equates to the photo of the train stuck in the snow: 20151108_120851.jpg Finally, when I was walking back down towards the centre of the village, this notice in the window of The Royal Oak (now irritatingly just known as 'The Oak'), caught my eye: 20151108_121010.jpg I then proceeded to the Coop, where I purchased some items for lunch, including a rather nice and very large pork pie. It's a good job JA is not listed as one of the stars for the local production of the Railway Children, as I think a duck of these parts would be flying down here as fast as his little wings can flap.
