Watchet's South Road/Woodlands Road area
With the Staple Plain area of the Quantock Hills on the skyline. Taken from the St. Decuman's Road to Parsonage Farm footpath. The light industrial units - on the other side of the field - are on the site of a former gasworks, whose gasholders were demolished some years back. I can remember South Wales coke being imported through Watchet Harbour, back in the early 1960s, to produce the gas at this site.

Woollam's Place, off South Road
2-bedroom townhouses in the Woollam's Place development. I'm a bit inclined to say this development doesn't blend particularly well with the rest of the town. (But perhaps that's the point, seeing as they are supposed to have some energy-saving features. Judge for yourself by taking a look at a view of the development on the corner of South Road and St. Decuman's Road. http://www.evenrange.com/assets/WoollamsBrochure.pdf )
I can just about remember Headmaster Alan Woollam after whom the development was named. Built on the site of the former Watchet Church Primary School. Almost opposite School Close, which was built on the former Watchet County Primary School. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1926978 I remember a high degree of cooperation between the schools. The Church School had a hall that could do shows, while County School had an open-air swimming pool that had been built by the parents.

Watchet pound
The old pound is no longer needed for its original purpose. It was also the site of the Court Baron - a local law office - of 1773. However, that doesn't stop it being a useful place today with a bench and a Georgian letterbox.

A small pound
What is left of the old Watchet pound is now a small public space. Once it was a pretty isolated place on the hillsidew above the harbour but is now surrounded by modern development.

Watchet from the South.
The well used footpath from Williton affords good views of the town and the Bristol Channel beyond. In the far distance is the Welsh Coast.
