Regency-flavour local authority flats, Gloucester Road, Teignmouth
These flats, and the accompanying road realignments, were completed between 1963 and 1977, according to old OS maps. The balconies echo features of the many Regency villas in the town. The view is across the southern end of Exeter Road, which was realigned away from narrow Exeter Street in this period. Bitton Street and other roads were widened to become the present A379 through Teignmouth. It was a radical change to the town's fabric that appears to have been planned in the post-war years: the site of these flats, and their neighbours on Bitton Park Road, was shown cleared on a map of 1955, with similar flats in place on the south side of the road. The reason was perhaps three-fold: to improve the housing stock, to improve lorry access to the port, and to remove coastal holiday traffic from the narrow streets of the town centre.

Fence of Bitton Park flats
The fence is a sturdy metal one, with distinctive supprts. You might have supposed the buildings' name begins with an 'R'.

Invitation to escape, Exeter Road, Teignmouth
The approach to Teignmouth from the north is unnerving for the first-time visitor - a long, ever-steepening descent, culminating in this thoughtful provision.

Flats in Teignmouth
The address of the buildings is Gloucester Road, the side road visible in the background on the right. With the distinctive canopies on their balconies, they dominate the section of Bitton Park Road (the A379, left) immediately west of the traffic lights at this junction, where Exeter Road (the B3192) climbs steeply to the right.
