IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Plymouth Road, SOUTH BRENT, TQ10 9HT

Looking over the Avon Valley to Ugborough Beacon (in SX6659).

On the B3372 in the village of South Brent.

On the left is modern housing arranged at right angles to Sanderspool Cross, at the far left. Confusingly, Sanderspool Cross is also the name of the roundabout (see Image) further up the B3372, which is on the extreme right. On the right, a significant bus stop - it's the London Inn, timed calling point for the X80 and X38 services from Plymouth to Exeter and Torquay respectively. Except that it's about 100 metres up the hill from the London Inn, which is in a different square (see Image, which shows it). For a somewhat superior bus shelter nearby, see Image However, I was grateful for this one, as my bus was almost half an hour late.

This elegant pair of Victorian semi-detached houses on Totnes Road date from the railway era; South Brent had a station between 1848 and 1963. A further pair are to the southeast.

Looking from the bus stop opposite the recently closed London Inn.

As it flows through South Brent,close to Brent Mill Bridge.

Taken from our Health Centre car park into the fields of the Avon Valley, with Ugborough Beacon in SX6659 behind.

Looking from the Old School Community Centre yard Image across Plymouth Road to a house converted from what I believe was a Congregational Church. To its left is the telephone exchange. The shadows indicate that this was an early morning photograph !

In the yard of the Toll House at Brent Mill Image, right next to the bridge Image is the remains of a privy that has partly collapsed into the river that it originally used to discharge into. The river is eroding the bank below the privy, which obviously is no longer used!
