The Regeneration of Devonport (2)

In yesterday's post I mentioned that very large tracts of Devonport are just beginning to emerge from fifty or so years behind "The Wall", which was erected to contain the expanded Dockyard during the Cold War Era, driving an ugly wedge right through the heart of the community.

This is "The Wall", and as you can see, there are still sections that have not yet been demolished.

However there are now vistas that have been impossible for the best part of half a century. For example, we couldn't have seen St Aubyn's Church from this distance because we would have been inside "The Wall", and its height would have blocked everything but the top of the spire.
