IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Murley Crescent, TEIGNMOUTH, TQ14 9SH

Across the river we can see some 2 km of foreshore in gridsquares Image Image and Image Half left, the Arch Brook joins the Teign; to the right of the right-hand pole is the Coombe Cellars pub. At far right are the woods around Netherton House. The view is from the junction with aptly-named Teignview Road; cropped to exclude distracting features of the car. Views back are Image and Image, both by Derek Harper.

A spring? A stream? A surface water drain? There is what looks like a rail at footpath level – perhaps to rest a bucket on? Or to guard feet from slipping?

At, I assume, its correct 22° angle to the sun on the left, this is seen from Teign View Road. Has it also captivated the bird on the wire? Several of the images at https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=153718676 carry an explanation of the phenomenon.

The view is the reverse of Image Ahead is Forder Lane. On the right is the substation 'Huntley 34-0391' operated by Western Power Distribution. Huntley, more recently Huntly, is the large property on the other side of the wall.

Nos 1 and 2 (furthest) are listed grade II https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1147821

The four cottages are on the left. The turning to Littlefield is just visible past the bend. The entry to Footpath No.19 is behind the camera.

Huntly, the cream-painted building partly visible on the left, was the largest of several large houses in the village, according to the Bishopsteignton village website https://contact94599.wixsite.com/mysite/history (the 1889 and 1905 OS maps call it Huntley). "In 1878 it was established as a hydro hotel, offering Turkish baths and massages". At the other end of the handsome building pictured a high wide archway has been filled in, suggesting that it was a coach house and stables, or it served the gardeners Image Now it appears at least partly converted to residential accommodation.

The Bishopsteignton village website https://contact94599.wixsite.com/mysite/history recounts that Huntly is the largest of several large houses in the village. "In 1878 it was established as a hydro hotel, offering Turkish baths and massages" (and named Huntley on the 1889 and 1905 OS maps). "In 1950 Huntly was purchased by the Officer's Association and is now run as a home for retired officers of the armed forces." There are indications of a change of status since then because properties are publicly advertised for sale.

Teignview Road joins from the right and continues to Clanage Cross and Colway Cross. Garages at street level serve houses perched several metres up the hill, where they enjoy magnificent views: Image gives an idea.
