Tavistock, Devon! (2024)

A visit to the pretty town of Tavistock in Devon, on a quiet Sunday afternoon!
Tavistock is an ancient stannary and market town within West Devon, England. It is situated on the River Tavy from which its name derives. At the 2011 census the three electoral wards (North, South and South West) had a population of 13,028. It traces its recorded history back to at least 961 when Tavistock Abbey, whose ruins lie in the centre of the town, was founded.
Tavistock lies on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, around 24 kilometres (14.9 mi) north of Plymouth on the A386. The town is centred on the paved amenity of Bedford Square, around which are found St. Eustachius' Church and the abbey ruins, to the west, the Grade 2-listed town hall, the disused former Guildhall/magistrates' court buildings, and Pannier Market buildings behind the town hall. Abbey Bridge crosses the River Tavy to the south, while West Street and Duke Street, on either side of the north end of the square, form the main shopping areas, with the indoor [Pannier] market running behind Duke Street.

Beautiful. My husband was the manager of the Bedford Hotel fifty years ago! We use to swim in the Tavy river behind the hotel on a hot day. Not too sure we’d do it now!

Looks like a very interesting place! Perhaps the Post Box could do with a little bit of decoration?

The church is the quietest of all places you depicted. Yesterday, I celebrated my 6th anniversary of my coin and banknote collecting, but the coins that I purchased yesterday are mostly common ones, but still new yearsadded.
