EPW033461 ENGLAND (1930). All Saints' Church and housing off Exeter Road, Exmouth, 1930

This is the line from Exmouth (off shot to the right) to Exeter Central (several miles off shot to the lower left.) The curving line which loops prominently round the left of much of this photo went from Exmouth (off shot to the right) to Budleigh Salterton then on to Sidmouth Junction. The line to Budleigh closed in 1967, but the line to Exeter and eventually on to Barnstaple and Okehampton is still open and thriving.

Southern Region railway to Exmouth station and then on to Exeter along the scenic River Exe route.

Southern Region railway to Budleigh Salterton

Note how the Southern Region railway line seems to act as a restraining obstacle to the extension of the town.

A remarkable photo of synchronised urban planning, taken during the day, deserted with hardly a vehicle to be seen.
