Heathfield Council Housing and Old Post Office
Taken from across the A38, these are the original council houses in Heathfield, built before the huge development of estate houses now to be found in the area. The building on the corner with the 4x4 in front of it was formerly the Heathfield Post Office. A new one has opened on the industrial estate close by. Before the A38 trunk road was widened, vehicles could drive straight across at this junction and take the back lane through Teigngrace and into Newton Abbot. My school bus took this very route in the early 70s.

Gate, Stover Country Park
Gate into the estate from alongside the A38 dual carriageway. There is access to the other side but it doesn't look like it's been used for a long time. Travelling west on the A38 this is on the left just before the slip-road for Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracey.

Granite Lodge, Stover
The pair of lodges, seen here along the northern flanking wall, are just beside the A38 dual carriageway. "Probably c1830 possibly by Philip Hardwick for the eleventh duke of Somerset" https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1308943 . The detailed description of this grade II* listed building at https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1308943 implies that these were stables.

Looking towards the A38 through the gateway of Image Obviously things were very different when it was built, I took this to show how close to the A38 it is!
