The old Princesshay.... actually it wasn’t that old!! It was demolished to make way for the new development that stands now. The Blue Boy is still there, but changed location.
I was brought up in the house that’s just behind. This is my favourite pic ❤️ I dont know the year this was taken.

This beautiful old stone bridge which crosses the East Dart River at Postbridge in the centre of Dartmoor is probably totally ignored by most people, who tend to stand on it to look at the most famous clapper bridge in the south-west of England, which is just a few yards away.

The original church (on the right) was consecrated in 1260 and "altered and added to" by Bishop Grandison of Exeter c. 1330. However, there are virtually no Decorated features (such as tracery) on the exterior, the style being basically "Early Gothic," although ogee arches flank the otherwise austere west portal. St Mary is also unusual in having two towers over the main transepts, a feature otherwise found only at Exeter. The so-called "Dorset Aisle" (at the left) was added in the early 16th C., naturally in the Perpendicular style, and it is the only substantial addition to the old church. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born in Ottery St Mary in 1772. His father was the vicar of St Mary.
