House on the waterside, Topsham, Devon

Topsham has a maritime history tied to the 17th and 18th-century wool trade with the Netherlands. Many of its buildings were constructed by wealthy merchants using small Dutch bricks imported as ship ballast, and some have Dutch style gables like this one at the waterside.

Dutch gables such as this are very prevalent in Norfolk too. The Dutch advised the county on drainage and the like.
A lovely scene, Keith. I expect the weather has changed since then. It's turned cool and rainy up in Shropshire.

Thanks for your visit and kind comments Amelia........glad you like this one. I could easily live there!

I think they're having the same weather as we are..........windy, with the odd heavy shower and quite a bit cooler :-))
