Most of the items in this website are concerned with my NEC students and carry information for them.

The picture above is the view from my study window looking at the River Tamar which forms the border between Corwall and Devon, You can see the two bridges, the modern road bridge and the railway bridge built by Brunel. The former is an amazing feat of engineering, built over 150 tears ago to carry the Great Western railway to Cornwall. The road bridge is only about 50 years old but was modified a few years ago by the addition of two cantelevers either side. The western one is a footpath and the eastern one is for traffic from Saltash. Recently we have a Tag system to pass through the toll gates. This consisits of a transmitter on the car which open the barrier and, of course, deducts 50p from your account.

As you can see it is a great place for boating, races being held several evenings a week in the season.
