Mystery Pictures - of Places

In the old albums "auntie" Hilde left us from her time with her mother's family in Plymouth, we have some old landscape and house photographs. Having kept them, they must have some significance, but we can only guess what they might depict.

First, there is one of a sailing boat in front of a hillside where new houses are being being built.

Second, there are picutres of a house close by the sea ... also in an area where few houses are visible in the vicinity.















Could this be in "Teignmouth" ?

The reason why this may be so is that Robert Burnard (the photographer) moved away from Huccaby to a place named "Stoke Teignmouth" in about 1911. Interestingly, the Plymouth data website refers to his home in Stoke-in-Teignhead and later in Torquay.

Robert wrote a very moving letter to his sister Mary on the outbreak of World War I. So, my hypothesis: we are looking at pictures of Stoke-in-Teignhead in Devon.
