Heywood Close, Torquay
Named after Thomas Heywood, the C15/C16 playwright, though I'm not sure why playwrights of that era should feature so heavily in this suburb of Torquay. One of our cats took up residence here, halfway between our old house and our new house, and we eventually gave up retrieving him. The attraction must have been the better food rather than the pedigree queens, unless one queries the efficacy of the vet who had charged us for "seeing to" him.

View from St Michael's Chapel, Torquay
This view looks WNW, further to the right than Image, with housing on Queensway beyond the wooded valley containing the A380 and the railway. Beyond is the suburb of Shiphay, with the South Devon countryside as a backdrop. You'll need a magnifying glass, but the tiny white dot on the horizon in the centre is Image which is how I discovered Geograph.

Second gate on path from Queensway
Taken from the gate shown in Image], which I could probably have opened; but there's little point as this second gate is clearly padlocked and bears a notice, albeit an ambiguous one: "Private property: there is no intention to dedicate this land as a right of way". That's more or less what it says on the coast path where it crosses Torquay harbour.

Gate across path, Queensway
I used to walk this path regularly; it runs between the primary school on Queensway and the girls' grammar, and formed part of a route from my house to Cockington that involved very little in the way of roads. But alas, not for the last few years, since it was blocked off. The only photographic record I have seems to be Image

Overgrown path from Queensway
A similar problem to Image I did clear a way through with secateurs in about February this year, but I get the impression I'm the only person who uses this rather useful path. And on this occasion I had failed to bring that crucial piece of equipment, although a machete would be far more help. Perhaps there will be a reasonable crop of blackberries in a couple of months. The guelder rose on the right is less of an issue.
