Dewlish: Then & Now

Date:

We love pairing a vintage postcard with a photograph taken in the same spot today. This month Barry has selected Dewlish

The street is still entirely recognisable, though the brick and flint house beyond the crossroads on the left has had a definite roof change at some point.
Barely recognisable now: a bridge crosses what was once a ford through Devil’s Brook, and the thatched buildings to the right have both long gone.
