Back lane Neath Road Plymouth
The use of locally available granite was extensively used in this area of the city and its hard wearing characteristic is evidenced here in the lane and on the kerbs. Slabs of slate were originally used for the pavements but these have been replaced by concrete or tarmac.

Farringdon Road Plymouth
This long hill runs down to a valley that once contained Tothill Bay, one of several creeks off the River Plym. It was dammed in 1809 to make economic use of the land reclaimed. The Embankment, now the name of the structure built along the west side of the Plym, served to dam a number of such creeks. In the distance Staddiscombe can be seen across the Plym valley.
