Hi In reply to your request for pictures of Dawlish cottages and where to get them....... There is a vast collection of old pictures of Dawlish in the Dawlish museum which may be worth a look, alternatively I know the White hart pub had some pitures of the roads around the pub but I am not sure which way they were taken, but it may be worth popping in and asking as they are good pictures.
