George Lane, Plympton
Whilst a large part of Plympton and Chaddlewood have been the subject of housing and industrial growth since the mid-1960s, the occasional reminder can be found of the origin 'stannary town'- this is the point where the GWR railway crosses George Lane, which used to run from the Ridgeway, through to the Cornwood/Sparkwell road.

Regent Terrace or Villas
This terrace of properties features in a post card of around 1900 when the road name of Moorlane had some more significance than it has today. When constructed the residents would have had an uninterrupted view across to the edge of Dartmoor. Now the open grass land on the west side of Moorland Road has the Ridgeway Comprehensive School built over it which obscures the moorland view for those in Regent Terrace.
Regent Terrace was built by the successful brewer Samuel Vosper who had a brewery in Durnford Street, East Stonehouse in Plymouth. Sadly there is no reference in or around the terrace of houses to indicate its original name. Image
