The sign says 'Shoe repair service', but it's been a while since any hob nails were hammered into boots in this shop at the top of Barnhill Road, Kingskerswell.

Noticeboard, Kingskerswell
I seem to recall Percy Young writing that he judged the character of unfamiliar settlements by the number of notices on the noticeboard. By that reckoning, Kingskerswell seems a vibrant place. This is at the junction of Barnhill Road and Fore Street.

Torquay Road, Kingskerswell
Torquay Road is the ever-busy A380 connecting Torquay and Newton Abbot. It is not unusual for traffic to come to crawl, stop-start in both directions here during the summer months. This view is south towards Torquay from the junction with Embury Close. On the left is an Electricity building (

Water Lane, Kingskerswell
The terraces are on the west side of the short lane that connects Fore Street to the main Torquay Road as it emerges from beneath the bridge. There must have once been houses opposite until the construction of the modern road.
