A short journey ( for me ) to obtain some modelling supplies from Newton Abbot, not a bad shopping trip when you have this outside of the carriage window.

This isn't a snide comment Rob. The chimney looks weird. Was it that early Halls had these and later Halls had those chunky and shorter versions? Or were there replacements fitted over the years? I only saw Halls from 1958 onwards so I wouldn't really know. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have taken extra effort to make it look like that? On a Christmas Special of "Strictly Come Modelling", Craig Revel Horwood would call that an "absolute disaster darling". Good job we've got the evidence to show that's how it's exactly meant to be! It's a Ten from Len. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cherub was a super little restaurant and pub in a very old building near the quay. I've actually answered my own question I think. Google tells me it's still there but the menu now seems to be pretty standard "pub fayre". Shame. http://the-cherub.co.uk/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
