Sleeping tourists after picnic beside estuary. Two tourists sat on picnic chairs behind a wooden gate by the river Torridge estuary at Bideford. One is sleeping and the other is reading a newspaper. They also have a small picnic table and thermos flasks. The river is the Torridge - in the background can be seen the closed GWR railway bridge over the river. - James Ravilious

Investors in quashed Whitehaven coal mine sue UK government Investors are using an international trade law to claim compensation.

Hey people of torridge and britain. geoff cox, yes the old attorney general, is representing a coal mining company that was refused permission to start a new mine because of climate change (remember that thing that might kill us all?). he's helping them sue the british government. #Devon #Torridge

I hope the plans include provision for the rail line to be extended to Bideford without too many alterations, saving money and fuss.

Good luck on the trains. Never used them in that locality but I do know from personal experience that the area covered by the neighbouring #Torridge council has very poor EV charging facilities. I went as an early EV adopter in 2020 & it's bucked the national trend and got worse since then #bideford

Thanks for the heads up Meg,

They should have called me first. I very much doubt that I would have recommended the #eVan #Torridge appear to have bought/leased!

As luck would have it I emailed Sir Geoffrey Cox KC MP about a similar matter only yesterday.

Time to find Peter Hames' contact details!

The aqueduct for the Rolle or Torridge Canal at Beam House, photographed from the Tarka Trail cycleway - itself the old railway line from Bideford to Great Torrington. This unique canal, completed in 1827, had a sea lock and inclined plane. In 1871 the canal was closed and much of the land used to build the railway, which closed in 1965 with the Beeching cuts.

Rolle Aqueduct drawn in the 1830s. See https://www.rollecanalsociety.org/beam-aqueduct.html Notice the sharp bend that canal barges had to turn.

Beam #Aqueduct photographed from the #TarkaTrail near #Torrington, #Devon. The aqueduct is famous for featuring as 'canal bridge' in Henry Williamson's 'Tarka the Otter'. Otters can still be seen in the #Torridge. Today the aqueduct is a roadway for #BeamHouse #photography #landscapephotography
