The posh houses of Topsham in Devon

Topsham lies on the river Exe in Devon just south of Exeter. The town has an interseting mixture of buildings & narrow lanes.

I love these deserted streets and alleyways walkabouts and it helps to absorb more of the details. Your boots were made for walking then Martin? That soundtrack of footsteps and ambient chillout music was superb and fitted the video brilliantly.

Thanks a lot. The original soundtrack had me puffing & panting all over it so I replaced it with music,seagulls & footsteps which were probably mixed a bit too high. 😊

Was Martin wearing army boots?

🤣🤣 The footsteps were actually a sound effect I added as the original sound had me puffing & panting all over it. Topsham is a lovely place worth visiting if you are in the Exeter area. Have a great time in Devon. 😊

@@rook_wood Ooops. The footsteps were added as the original sound had me puffing & panting on it. I probably mixedthe footsteps a bit too high. 😊😊

@@atrampinthehills.841 Oooh. Sounds nice. I've never been to Hartland Point. It does look very rugged & dramatic though. Have a great time. 👍

I grew up in Topsham in the 1960s and knew every inch of the alleyways and courts. Some of the big houses were certainly posh but there was plenty of rundown housing in a terrible state and what was really slums. There were derelict sale lofts and warehouses by the river, these are all expensive houses and flats now. Everything now looks freshly painted and well maintained, the streets look narrower and Fore Street used to be two way but it's all instantly recognisable. The shops are all different and there's far fewer pubs than when I started my drinking career. Who remembers The King's Head, The Malt Scoop, The London and South Western, The Exeter Inn? You didn't show The Bridge Inn, possibly the best pub in the country and still going strong.

Hope you guys are all OK. Yes we did hear about it on the T.V. & we thought of you guys straight away. I'm not surprised that you'll never drink the tap water again. We seen on the news about the guy who runs the veg shop on the corner buying a load of bottled water for everyone. That was nice of him. Just going to watch your pirate video now. Take care guys. 😊😊👍👍
