No 1 Orchard Gardens, Teignmouth
Image: © Robin Stott Taken: 10 Jan 2019
This large building, assumed to be flats, stands at the corner of modern Higher Brook Street, off to the left, and Orchard Gardens, right. The road immediately in front of the camera and the central frontage ought to be part of Fore Street Image: it joins Orchard Gardens out of shot right. From 1889 to 1955 old maps show this as three properties with a passage between the northernmost and Higher Brook Street. A map of 1971-89 shows no property boundaries and no passage. Best guess is that it was a hotel and bar that extended; it's not far from the station. There are cellar access covers in the footway below the right-hand frontage. 'No 1 Orchard Gardens' is a sign over a front door just round the corner https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6117302 ; no other numbering can be seen.
