Forder Creek

The village of Forder lies at the head of this tidal creek, on the River Lynher. It is only 8 miles by road from the city centre of Plymouth, but it could be 80 miles and 80 years away. It is close to the point where the Lynher flows into the River Tamar, just below the Saltash road and rail Bridges.

I took these pictures on the morning that the world saw the first TV coverage of the rioting, looting and burning in London and some of this country's major cities.
