"The garden stands on part of a former commercial market garden, started in 1920 by George Heath senior, and then run by his son, right also George, until 1981" http://totnestrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Totnes-garden-Trail-Board_25-May.pdf . The building left of centre, number 10 South Street, was "possibly {a} late C14 defensive tower on the circuit of the town wall, rebuilt following partial demolition during the late C19. Referred to as "the little house on the walls" close by the Shambles Gate in 1462" https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1264388 . Between it and the distinctive modern house on the right is the tower of St Mary's Church http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=86616184 .
