Down WR holiday express passing Cowley Bridge Junction
View northward, towards Taunton etc. on the ex-GWR West Country main line, where it is joined by the equivalent ex-LSW main line coming from Yeoford and all points westward, north of Exeter St David's. On the celebrated two-track bottleneck between here and St David's the Down GWR trains were bound for the West, opposing the Up SR trains coming from the West. The signalmen in the Junction Box here were never so busy as on a Summer Saturday such as in July 1955 and the long-distance express, the 07.43 Nottingham Midland to Plymouth had only a 2-6-0, Chuchward-design 43XX No. 6358 (built 11/23, withdrawn 10/59) - with the Reporting Number merely chalked on the smokebox.

Earlier Geographs show that this had a spell as a Thai restaurant,Image but it now looks to have gone back to being a pub.

Cowley Bridge Inn
Another photo of the former pub shown in Image and Image As David Cornforth explains at http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/em/_pubs/cowleybridge.php , which details the pub's history, it closed in 2008 and reopened as the Thai Shanghai Restaurant, "albeit still selling real ale".
To the left is the split between the railway lines to Barnstaple (the "Tarka Line") and the main line to Tiverton Parkway (right).
On the right, across the A396 Stoke Road, are Barton Cottages.

Cowley Bridge Inn, Cowley
As can be seen, a railway pub though not very conveniently sited as there is no station in the vicinity. Since this photo I think it has closed and is now a Chinese restaurant.
The line on the left is mostly a freight line heading to Okehampton; that on the right is for Taunton and all points east.
