Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

Rather Convenient??? Somebody appears to have nicked the lead from the Mill house roof too

 

I had to go back and look but it is indeed missing the lead on one side. I wonder if the owners actually know the lead has gone?

 

Oh-oh, that's 15 new potential sources of complaint...

I was taking a Ukranian family for a trip on the GWSR (with my spare shareholder tickets) and the father asked: Why are your houses all so close together?
I had to explain about developer's profits....

 

Only partially. Rural ribbon development has been 'a thing' since the Anglo-Saxons first rocked up on these shores .... and for all barring the last couple of centuries, for the most part, that's been folks building their own.

 

The loss of the lead is highly insignificant with most of the roof and many of the ceilings burnt away.

 

Not on the burnt out building. Look at the building bottom left of the picture.

 

I see on social media that Lyd will be visiting again for the gala in September. https://twitter.com/woody_bay/status/1551997406731984897?t=-vQCvTOrWir3NVS7zF8qpw&s=19

Ah, yes. Got it now.

 

Is that really a school? It looks more like a row of council houses.

 

the lead has been nicked from a lot of the buildings but it looks like they had their comeuppance ,theres a big hole in the roof of the main building and the lead is swinging in the wind lol

 

Good news but my computer won't let me read the tweet as I'm not on Twitter.

 

Thanks for both of those Pete, much appreciated.

 

a genuine enamel Snapper Halt sign will be coming up for auction soon and Exmoor Associates are in the process of putting together and appeal to try and make a successful bid

 

By highlighting it, you may have inadvertently pushed up the value!
Now I have gone and done the same thing as well

 

IT'S A FAKE !!!!!

There you go ..... problem sorted!

 

I did wonder that, but - apart from the apparent pristine condition - what makes you so certain please?

 

Joke, I think.

Mind you, by publicising the fact that EA are keen to secure it, you might persuade people not to bid for it for themselves, but rather help EA to get it. That happened to me in an auction once, when it was clear that we were the best home for the item (No, not the Flying Scotsman name plate )
