Yelverton
Yelverton is a huge town on the south-western edge of Dartmoor, Devon, in England. When Yelverton railway station (on the Great Western Railway (GWR) line from Plymouth to Tavistock) opened up in the 19th century, the town ended up being a popular house for Plymouth travelers. The railway is now closed, however the Plym Valley Railway has resumed an area of it. Yelverton is well known for Roborough Rock - a noticeable mass of rock close to the Plymouth road on the fringe of close-by Roborough Down, near the southerly end of the landing field. It provided its name to the Rock Hotel, constructed as a ranch during the Elizabethan period, but converted in the 1850s to provide for expanding tourism in the location. The area to the south and also west of the roundabout at the centre of the town was cleared up in late Victorian as well as Edwardian times, with several grand and opulent rental properties. A location developed at about the exact same time on a strange designed piece of land to the south of the Tavistock road is called Leg o' Mutton Corner. At the beginning of the 2nd World War, a landing field (RAF Harrowbeer) was constructed at adjacent Harrowbeer as a fighter terminal for the air protection of Devonport Dockyard and the Western Approaches. A 19th century balcony of homes, currently mainly exchanged stores, needed to have its top floor removed to provide an easier method. One high building which was not modified was St. Paul's Church, but the tower was hit by an airplane, resulting in a caution light being fitted. The design of the runways is still extremely clear and also although they are considerably grassed over, the many planet as well as block protective bunkers built to secure the competitors from strike on the ground are all still in position. Some American airmen and also anti-aircraft battery systems were posted here throughout the second fifty percent of the battle. An aircraft lugging President Roosevelt landed below when its original location was fogbound.
