Pictures from the 1930s
A979, 1933
Mawgan Porth 1935
This picture was taken by my Great-Uncle the Rev Tanner and would have been taken during a family camping holiday, the site for which was just upstream of the river from here (see <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1725294'>SW8567 : Camping at Mawgan Porth in 1935</a>). The building just over the bridge was a cafe very popular with the families for breakfasts, looking at Tony Atkin's picture <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/314488'>SW8567 : Mawgan Porth</a> we can see that the building has been extended over the years as has the house behind and there are some more buildings to the left of it, although it looks like one of the bungalows might be the same. Note the 'charabanc' parked in the lay-by, indicating that this village was a popular tourist destination even then.

1938 plan for a western bypass of Burton upon Trent. Orders were made for this road which was never built, most likely due to the war.

1931-1932 The Wobbly Wheel The Wobbly Wheel was used as an example by the Devon Planning Authorities of what a good layout for a Petrol Filling Station should be like.
Once the Station was operational Ronald Loach, the owner and developer, was off again building another petrol filling station on the A38 at the bottom of Redhill near Wrington in Somerset called Paradise Roadhouse http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/890220 . See also 889102.
