Barnstaple Town Planning – 1830 Style
Found an article from 1830 (Journal Herald) documenting some changes that were happening in the town at the time.
The Hearts of Oak must have been a lot bigger back then, occupying a chunk of what’s now the taxi rank in Boutport Street. That would partly explain why the building is wedge-shaped today – a portion of it was chopped off around 1830
Boutport Street
Boutport Street. Images taken from a very similar vantage point to a previous Boutport Street composite, but with a later “Before” picture, we’ve progressed from horse & carts to motor vehicles. If you think you can nail the year of the old picture, I’m curious what you work it out to be 🙂

Tuly Street
Tuly Street – If you’re unsure what you’re looking at here, in both pictures you can see the Rolle Quay pub in the background, the modern day photo has the photographer looking towards what’s now Iceland’s car back with his back to the library.
