Well it's finally gone! Be interesting to see what it all looks like in daylight @Philip - just a wee bit!! but an awesome job, well done! and well worth the lack of sleep :-d R.I.P. Old Rusty ....... Rust In Pieces, that is! ;-) Right time for some shut eye, me thinks. Night night all ............
UPDATE @ 3am - thier cutting away the bridge

I think when I first arrived in Dawlish last year, I saw a set of then & now pics of the town or did I dream it? Anyone know / remember this? Because I can't remember where I saw it. This sort of thing fascinates me, so if I dreamt it, I would love to do a series of them mysel if anyone knows of where I can get access to turn of the century (19th/20th) pics?
@frederick - close! Looked for a great vantage point that I could easily take the same shot each time :-) I will take a pic each time any work is done, no matter how minor .... so you may have to play "spot the difference" ;-) As to the order, that's all sorted, the first pic to appear will be the latest one. I did last when I first got here last year see a set of then & now pics of the ...
I did have a letter posted to me, detailing most of what you mentioned. Unfortunately, it has to mis-placed. So if anyone else still has thier copy, I would interested in details too
