Paddock by the Kenn
The pony is in a small triangular field, heavily shaded by hedgerow trees, and a mere corner of what may have been a larger field before the advent of Kennford's bypasses. The track on the left is a continuation of Bulford Lane from Kennford, carrying Kenn Footpath 6, and again truncated by the A38. A curious, secret spot, yards away from the thunderous noise of the dual carriageway.

Track beside A38
I think this must be the line of the A38 as it originally bypassed Kennford, before the dual carriageway was built a few yards to the west. It now seems to be used as a footpath and cycleway. Seen from where the path from Bulford Lane emerges into the open.

In 1929 known as Highway Motors
Soon after this photo was taken the new Highway bypass (A38) diverted traffic away from going through Kennford and thus no more petrol sales. Not to be outdone my father then built the "Wobbly Wheel" a new petrol filling station at the corner of the old village main road and the new Highway bypass - see Image and Image

1931/1932 The Wobbly Wheel
The Wobbly Wheel was used as an example by the Devon Planning Authorities of what a good layout for a Petrol Filling Station should be like.
Once the Station was operational Ronald Loach, the owner and developer, was off again building another petrol filling station on the A38 at the bottom of Redhill near Wrington in Somerset called Paradise Roadhouse http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/890220 . See also Image
