A favourite walk up the hill in Berry Pomeroy, just outside Totnes. This hill was used as a location in the film ‘Sense & Sensibility’
Waiting at Totnes station one day, miserable weather, wasted some time taking photos!
Most of the former industrial warehouses bordering the River Dart at Totnes have now been remodelled as luxury riverside apartments, good to see them have a new lease of life and I believe it keeps much of the character of the old town. An early morning image of some of them reflecting on the still water of the river at high tide.

The Cott Inn at Dartington, near Totnes is one of the oldest Inns in the UK and has been continuously licenced to sell ale since 1320 AD. A charming thatched roof covers the 5 foot plus thick walls that are constructed of cobb (an ancient mix of clay mud, cow manure,straw and lime, then rendered with a lime plaster) it has certainly stood the test of time and still looks so pristine. I have enjoyed many meals there washed down with the odd pint or two. /
I went over to my former home town of Totnes in South Devon UK.,this morning having checked that high tide was at 09,56 and all was still with the River Dart like a mirror and beautiful lateral warm light. A similar scene to my earlier Reflections of the Past image that was taken with my trusty old Nikon D100. Still getting accustomed to all the features on my recently purchased Nikon D300 but was more than pleased with the results of the images I took this morning, this one having little editing, just a slight perspective crop and a little sharpening.

Just a street scene taken on Market Day in the ancient Historic Borough of Totnes in Devon. I lived in Totnes for about 30 years and loved the atmosphere in the narrow streets and the ancient timber framed buildings, most of which are over 500 years old,seem to lean in every direction, but all add to the character. In recent years Totnes has earned the title of Alternative Capital of the UK, not because of the population which is under 10,000 but a large influx of hippy types and green environment followers seemed to have moved to the town. A market has been held in the town for over 1000 years and the modern day market day can be most enjoyable and filled with atmosphere, In Roman times, Totnes was one of the largest towns in population and at one time even minted it’s own currency, thankfully it didn’t grow as fast as all the other towns in numbers.

Time to try something different and I’d appreciate your honest feedback on this one please. Two highly reflective images taken in the portrait format, slightly cropped and reduced in size to fit on a black mask, total image size is 4500×3000. I took both of these images within minutes of one another from each side of the old bridge over the River Dart in my former home town Totnes, Devon. The PAST image is of the former warehouses and church converted to luxury riverside apartments, the PRESENT being a new block of colourful riverside houses recently built on the site of a former garage business.

Another image from my former home town of Totnes in South Devon. The ancient Parish church of Totnes was completed in AD1450 and sits on the site of the former Parish church and Priory which dates back to AD1088, the building to the right of the church is the ancient Guildhall which was a part of the Priory and is now used for Mayoral ceremonies and town council meetings. Much of the red sandstone used in the building of the church was taken from the cliffs at Paignton and Torquay, then a 10 mile trip on rough sea before going another 10 miles up the River Dart to Totnes, all this was on ancient rafts, quite a feat for the time.

When Ford introduced their new range of what were then quite large saloons most other cars in Britain still had running boards, exposed headlights and side-valve engines so their slab-sided American aspect made them look like they were from another planet. The Consul was the basic four-cylinder model, and the Zodiac the six-cylinder top of the range but here we see the in between Zephyr a six-cylinder, six seater having just passed an AA patrol man on the Totnes-Paignton road. The old toll-house in the background was demolished by an errant juggernaut sometime in the 1970s but the road is basically the same today. Although my forte is commercial vehicles I still love classic cars, I should do because I remember when most of them were the latest model, and a painting like this of your favourite classic car, English, American, even German or French in oils on a 20”x30” board costs about £750.

Totnes (pronounced /ˈtɒtnɨs/ or /tɒtˈnɛs/) is a market town at the head of the estuary of the River Dart in Devon, England within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is about 22 miles (35 km) south of the city of Exeter and is the administrative centre of the South Hams District Council. Totnes has a long recorded history, dating back to 907AD when its first castle was built; it was already an important market town by the 12th century. Indications of its former wealth and importance are given by the number of merchants’ houses built in the 16th and 17th centuries. /
5526 is one of 100 2-6-2 tanks of the 4575 class introduced by the GWR in 1927. They are slightly enlarged versions of the 45xx Class. Related information from South Devon Railways The 45xx and 4575 classes were favourites for branch line work over most of the GWR territory. Devon and Cornwall were no exceptions and virtually all the branch lines in the two counties saw engines of one or other of the two types right up until the end of steam on British Railways (Western Region), or in many cases, until the closure of the lines in question. The branch line from Totnes to Ashburton – today’s South Devon Railway – was no exception. Here the 45xx class were used for the freight traffic. 5526 was completed at Swindon Factory in May 1928 at a cost of £3694, including the boiler. She spent almost her whole life in the west country having been shedded at St Blazey, Bodmin, Exeter, Plymouth Millbay, Laira and Truro, ending her main line days at Westbury in June 1962 when she was sold for scrap to Woodhams in Barry after travelling in the region of 900,000 miles. In the early days of preservation, sister engine 4555 was the first locomotive to arrive on the line in preservation days in 1965 and was a regular performer on the line after it was re-opened. Later, 4555 was joined by 4588. These two engines are now on the Paignton and Dartmouth Railway. 5526 was rescued from Barry scrapyard (see right, lower) in 1985, going first to Swindon where restoration started, before being purchased by SDR based 5526 Ltd who moved her to Buckfastleigh where restoration was completed. 5526, one of 14 members of the class to survive, is currently in regular service.

The purpose-built,Grade 2 listed, Tweed Mill was designed by Oswald P. Milne in 1930 for The Dartington Hall Trust and for more than 50 years made up part of the local textile industry. The historic water wheel, originally used to directly power the looms, has recently been converted to be a hydro- electric power source, producing 3kWh of electricity, with the water channel coming from the adjacent Bidwell Brook.
