A quiet Saturday morning in South Brent
The snowfall reduced traffic to a trickle, it was wonderful until it became slushy and dirty with salt.
This is Station Road, looking towards the Anchor with its jetty over the pavement. The Royal Oak is one of 2 pubs still functioning in the village, the Anchor being a closed one now used as a newsagents and shop.

A snowy station yard, South Brent
South Brent was once a busy junction station on the South Devon Railway mainline to Plymouth. It was closed in 1963 but Image provides a snapshot of it in 1958.
Some of the infrastructure remains, the signal box is on what remains of the island platform, and the goods shed is now a busy dental surgery, see Image The rest of the yard is used for parking and has a small factory in one part.
Snow is not new here; in March 1891 a drama occurred when the GWR's premier daily express from Paddington to Plymouth, nicknamed "The Zulu", was stranded here for 4 days in what was called The Great Blizzard. Greg Wall's Book of South Brent published by Halsgrove in 2005, has an interesting account from newspaper reports of the time.

Primrose Junction Dental Surgery, South Brent
The village is lucky to have a dental surgery, and for this building to have been saved and converted into it. Originally this area was the railway station yard, and this building was the Goods Shed built by the GWR. The conversion was excellent, with a mezzanine floor added that fits in with the original internal structural ironwork. See Image for a different view.
