SX9272 : Retaining walls, Bishopsteignton Road near Inverteign, Teignmouth

Retaining walls, Bishopsteignton Road near Inverteign, Teignmouth
Over decades the Teignmouth Road-Bishopsteignton Road-Bitton Park Road A381 approach to the town has been widened. Cutting back into Teignmouth's steep slopes has required the construction of retaining walls. Judging by the lack of weathering to the Devonian limestone facing, these walls just west of Inverteign may have been built in the 1980s. Compare with those of around 1930: SX9373 : Retaining wall to Bishopsteignton Road below Inverteign Drive, Teignmouth. These widenings eased access to the town for visitors as well as the clay wagons going to the docks.
