TEIGNMOUTH PHOTOS

I thought this was an extraordinary feat of photographical genius on my part - I really like the picture. This is looking over towards the Eastern side of Teignmouth. What you can see is some newish houses in a place called Grange Drive, Hazeldown Road and school field, part of the cemetery and Maudlin Drive as well, right up the top. No specific influence on a song, just a nice view really.

This place was the influence for the song "Railway Trax" - it's right next to the public library (its behind you) and I imagined it to be the kind of place you'd dump someone you'd just killed or assaulted or something. The ideal location for the influence this song has is in a place called Dawlish Warren, about 5/6 miles out of Teignmouth, next to the railway lines up there - but I'm sodded if I'm going to walk all the way up there for one lousy picture. I'd probably get challenged by the transport police. Bloody Heathen.

Again, one you can't really appreciate without seeing it in its larger format. Click on this text to see the bigger picture. This place, the top of Exeter Road/Hill, influenced 'Rural', a song about living in the country or some remote place nobody can get to. There's a white house in the middle of the image, that's the one I'm talking about. It looks so out the way. Keen eyed observers might be able to spot Simon's old house, too.

St Mary's Road, where I spent 7/8 years of my childhood growing up, before we moved. I loved living round here, we had loads of neighbours who we were all good friends with. My old house is down the bottom by those cars, the new owners have built a fortress style wall round the place now and it looks shit. I didn't take a picture up close because they might have thought me a spy from MI5 or MFI or something.

This here seems to be a path with no name. It's situated about forty steps up the road from where the picture above was taken, and leads down to a road called Coombe Vale Road, where there's a Spar. Attention horny teenage lads! This is rich pickings most of the time for discarded, battered, weather beaten, ripped and mauled copies of porn mags for you to pick up and look at under your covers. Well, it might have changed now but I always used to see stuff like that when I walked down there.

Another one that deserves to be seen in widescreen, click here for the bigger one.
This is the bottom of Exeter Road, with the sea view looking over to The Ness (that big cliff thing up the top). On the right, the white building is a nursing home I think, and that down the bottom is the town centre. It was actually quite a nice day I took this, but I did suffer from vertigo whilst taking it, the bridge was a bit unsteady because of the wind, like.
