Plymouth Road, SOUTH BRENT, TQ10 9BH

The pub seen from the opposite direction to Image "With one of the longest street elevations in the settlement, the 19th century façade of this reputedly 17th century coaching inn is made all the more impressive by the rusticated quoins and long string course which tend to emphasise its length" http://www.southbrent.co.uk/fileadmin/user_upload/SBPC/publications/other/South_Brent_Conservation_Area.pdf

Set on the corner between Totnes Road (left) and Plymouth Road (right), this is described at http://www.southbrent.gov.uk/fileadmin/user_upload/SBPC/publications/other/South_Brent_Conservation_Area.pdf as "one of the smartest, essentially 19th century, houses in the Conservation Area".

This building is in the yard of the Old School Community Centre Image, and was the schoolmasters' house. It is now used as offices by local organisations such as St Petroc's Parish Church Image

This building is next to the Old School Community Centre, and is now used as a garage by the cream painted house behind. It was previously used to keep the village street sweepers' handcart in, but research by the new owner has shown that it was built to house the village fire engine in years gone by. See Image

Behind the high dark (in shadow) stone wall was once a local militia barracks, and the cream house to the left and the mauve and cream houses to its right are thought to have been associated with it. In the distance down the street is the village centre, the Anchor square, still with its historic red telephone kiosk still in use. See Image

In 1997 Devon County Council built a new school in South Brent. The old Victorian school was bought by the local community with grant aid and is used as a community centre. The village Pre-School is based there, along with a community library, a gallery for photo, art etc displays by local groups and individuals, and the rooms are used for a variety of adult and child classes, talks, and exhibitions such as our Arts and Crafts one that the banner advertises. It's a valuable and well used resource in the village.

Exhibits in our biennial exhibition held in the Old School Community Centre Image, showing the wide range of things produced by people in the village.
