Heathfield Council Housing and Old Post Office

Taken from across the A38, these are the original council houses in Heathfield, built before the huge development of estate houses now to be found in the area. The building on the corner with the 4x4 in front of it was formerly the Heathfield Post Office. A new one has opened on the industrial estate close by. Before the A38 trunk road was widened, vehicles could drive straight across at this junction and take the back lane through Teigngrace and into Newton Abbot. My school bus took this very route in the early 70s.
