Just as Brunel's Great Western Railway cut a swathe through Teignmouth in the mid-19th century so, in the late 20th century a parallel swathe was cut for a road that would take traffic out of the town centre. In this it was successful but with brutal and incongruous effects on the townscape along the road. Note the footpath under the bridge. The view is from the Saxe Street crossing behind the library.
