Site of Billacombe Station
View eastwards, towards Yealmpton. This is a final view of the track-bed before being buried under a by-pass. Passenger trains to Yealmpton ran from Plymouth (Millbay) GWR until the line was closed on 7/7/30. Then during World War II, when Plymouth was so badly blitzed and people moved out to the surrounding country villages, the Yealmpton branch (and Billacombe station) was reopened on 3/11/41, but with trains running from Plymouth (Friary) SR. The passenger service lasted only until 6/10/47, goods until 29/2/60.

Celtic Cross, Stentaway Road, Plymstock
Recreating this 'First' for the square https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/58419.
The cross is a designated Scheduled Monument, the listing including the following information:
“The pre-Conquest standing cross and early Christian memorial stone . . . is unique in Devon; it is of a type of cross more commonly found in Cornwall. It has an inscription indicative of an early Christian memorial stone, although these are normally found on plain stones, not those shaped into crosses. . . . The cross was moved to its current location in 1946; it had been in a field used as a rubbing post for livestock. . . . It is thought to date to between the 9th and 11th centuries.”
