Yelverton
Yelverton is a huge village on the south-western side of Dartmoor, Devon, in England. When Yelverton railway station (on the Great Western Railway (GWR) line from Plymouth to Tavistock) opened in the 19th century, the town ended up being a preferred house for Plymouth commuters. The railway is now shut, yet the Plym Valley Railway has actually resumed an area of it. Yelverton is well known for Roborough Rock - a noticeable mass of stone near the Plymouth road on the edge of neighboring Roborough Down, near the southern end of the landing strip. It provided its name to the Rock Hotel, developed as a ranch throughout the Elizabethan period, but converted in the 1850s to cater for expanding tourism in the area. The area to the south and also west of the roundabout at the centre of the village was worked out in late Victorian and Edwardian times, with lots of grand and also luxurious rental properties. An area developed at about the exact same time on a strange shaped tract to the south of the Tavistock road is known as Leg o' Mutton Corner. At the beginning of the Second World War, a landing strip (RAF Harrowbeer) was built at adjacent Harrowbeer as a fighter terminal for the air defence of Devonport Dockyard and also the Western Approaches. A 19th century terrace of houses, now primarily exchanged stores, had to have its upper floor eliminated to supply an easier strategy. One tall building which was not changed was St. Paul's Church, but the tower was struck by a plane, leading to a warning light being fitted. The design of the paths is still very clear and also although they are considerably grassed over, the many earth as well as block safety shelters built to secure the boxers from assault on the ground are all still in place. Some American airmen and also anti-aircraft battery systems were posted here throughout the second fifty percent of the battle. An airplane lugging President Roosevelt landed here when its initial location was fogbound.
