Teignmouth from Shaldon, Devon, August 1937

This image was taken in August 1937 from the Shaldon Botanical Gardens on the southern side of the River Teign estuary. The Homeyard Gardens (as they are otherwise known) are seen here in an undeveloped state as they were only planted less than 10 years prior to the photograph having been taken
