  • Had to get 'Discharged' from Dental Care, so popped over to do that, drop my jacket in to be rewaterproofed, & have a wander around. Naturally I took a chance to show you a few pics from a History Of Newton Railway Station - Full article is accessible from www.BillsPhoneTeignmouth.com - Details in the video - No timestamps today! Enjoy 👍👍👍

    Hey Bill. Nice trip to Newton. Not been there for years, must give it a visit. The station is certainly grander now than it was before the rebuild in 1920s. You go out for a walk and chat to us and then we chat to you later in the day. Win, win 😊. Hope mum is okay after her dizzy spell 🤞 quando quando quando (love it) 😂

    Great to have a wander around Newton,a proper railway town. Patsy and I won some free cinema tickets for Newton and we’re now waiting for a decent film .
    Very sad to see all the empty shops , my how times have changed, it used to be thriving and in particular on market days.
    Hope all well with your mum

    Hi Bill, did you know Newton Abbot was nicknamed Little Swindon, this was due to the GWR railway works and workers houses being built in the same style as the ones in Swindon.

      'the works' building (closed 1970) is still there used nowadays for the manufacture
      of Marine Propeller's
      Interestingly following closure it was used for a time by the nearby Dart Valley Railway prior to the construction of their own purpose built facility at Buckfastleigh

    Hi Bill, great news about your final discharge from your dentist. Just a thought, you have a proper set and the spare set, which, because of their size, you could call them your baby teeth. 😂😂😂. Hope your mum is feeling better now after feeling a bit giddy. Thanks for letting us come along with you whilst you are on your walks. See you tomorrow mate.

    • @BillsPhoneTeignmouth

    Well done bill. Smashing content. I won’t ramble. But I’ve seen the comments on your channel. Lovely people. Lovely to know you’re never alone on your walks. Best thing I found walking with you daily altho I get behind owing to work and getting in late. Love it mate and your subscribers like I know most of them. Shame about shops closing. And the then and now’s amazing. Thanks bill. Got to go out tonight with my wife and sons. The birthday boy today (62 ). Young. And yes unlike yourself the pub and meal await 😉😉😉. Thanks for today bill. Love to mum hope all ok. God bless and look forward to tomorrow. Thank you.

    You caught the blue unit coming back and didn't note it🙀. We were in the square in Newton Abbot just last year and it was nice and busy with tables and chairs and didn't notice any closed shops - as you say a shame😿. Loved the NA station pics and look forward to seeing more on you website article. Nice to have the dentist behind you now - thanks for taking us on your trip, cheers😺.
