Housing along The Drive, Bishopsteignton
The Drive led from the Newton Road to a large Victorian villa built in 1840, named as Hollowmead on a map of 1889 but now known as Bishopsteignton House. The big cedars around it are a legacy of its time as a private dwelling. It is now a care home that offers "exclusive accommodation for 27 residents" http://devoncaregroup.co.uk/pages/our-homes/our-homes-%3Cbr%3Ebisopsteignton-house,-bishopsteignton/89 . Other parts of the property have been developed for housing, seen here from the grassy open space that appears once to have been a pasture or paddock overlooked by the house

Two-tone brick houses, Forder Lane, Bishopsteignton
The cream brick is very likely from Kingsteignton, made of clay from the Teign valley claypits. At upper left are West Town Cottages. The wall postbox, left, has the ID TQ14 38D. "A 4.00pm or later collection is made from the Postbox at Bishopsteignton Post Office, 50 Fore Street." Also on the left is the turning into Littlefield. Note the 'School' sign: it has been pointed out that it's a curious hybrid - a modern (post-Worboys) triangular sign mounted on an old black and white striped pole.

Murley Grange, Bishopsteignton
To the west of Bishopsteignton village centre, new housing has appeared, often on the site of demolished large houses. Murley Grange was replaced by this development in 1989. This lies just outside the conservation area which has been established to try and conserve what remains of the village's traditional character. Seen from Forder Lane.

Public open space off The Drive, Bishopsteignton
This grassy slope appears to have been a pasture or paddock on the Bishopsteignton House property, pictured. It is a large Victorian villa built in 1840, named as Hollowmead on a map of 1889. The big cedars around it are a legacy of its time as a private house. It is now a care home that offers "exclusive accommodation for 27 residents" http://devoncaregroup.co.uk/pages/our-homes/our-homes-%3Cbr%3Ebisopsteignton-house,-bishopsteignton/89 . Other parts of the property have been developed for housing, glimpsed on the right
