Wobbly Wheel "Named after the Wobbly Wheel Garage, in Kennford, which stood on the site of the Partridge Cycles shop". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_road_junctions_in_the_United_Kingdom:_W). The shop is just behind the trees in the centre. The slip road is joining from the A379, which itself has a slip road leading to a T junction for Kennford village or this bridge - or the Old Dawlish Road. Quite a complex road junction! Traffic gathers an alarming pace at this point as it prepares to climb Telegraph Hill into the Haldon hills.
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.
