Saltash

I have often crossed the road bridge across the River Tamar, which separates Devon from Cornwall, but never ventured into the bustling town of Saltash itself. On this trip I eventually got to walk around the steep slopes descending to the banks of the river and found it very interesting. Again, have a look at the views. The first two show the two bridges in parallel, with Isambard Kingdom Brunel's famous railway construction on the right in the first photo and in front in the second.

And how's this for patriotism? By the way, that's Brunel standing in front of the building.

The Tamar at low tide.

And this looked a cute little old building, but closer inspection revealed its importance. Have a look at the inscription on the third of the photos!

And the railway station at Saltash in Cornwall looking east.
