As a child in the 1960’s I was fascinated by the Salty, I wasn’t living in Devon then, just on holiday but I can remember it having green on it. I can’t remember how many years that we came to Devon always staying in Dawlish but I know we were there in 1966 to 1970. We missed 65 as my dad couldn’t to come down from Lincolnshire but I know they where in Devon the year before I was born, 1955. I carried on the tradition when I left school and remember seeing the luna eclipse in November 1975 from the car park of the Smugglers Inn near Dawlish. I moved down in 2003 on account of those holiday’s. My only regret is I wish I could have got here sooner. Question, does anyone remeber the Teign Gold cider place on the road out of Shaldon to Newton Abbot. I used to love that cider and always took a few bottles home with me in the 1970’s.
Lovely memories James - Theres a bit moire on the Salty, in tomorrows vid as well. I don't remember the Cider place myself, but I've 'Pinned' your comment so more people see it 👍👍👍
@@BillsPhoneTeignmouth Cheers, thanks very much. I have a schooner in a bottle from a wet fish shop in Teignmouth, used to be near the crossroads in the middle of town. They had a few in the window and I asked a man who worked there how much they cost. He told me they weren’t for sale but he said he would let me buy one. I can’t remeber how much it was but it couldn’t have been much as it was 1973 and I didn’t have much money in those days. He told me an ex-sailor who lived in Shaldon made them. Happy days.
When I was young we used to go camping on Salty, there were bushes and grass growing on Salty. Alf Broom would lend us a small boat called the Sea Lion and we would row across
You are dave I live in paignton and I visit teignmouth alot people are friendly and the shops are full and you can park its a lovely town and seafront. They have killed paignton doesn't have the vibe teignmouth has
Hello Bill lovely video as always thank you . Interesting about The Salty I remember it as it used to be . Lovely to see back beach in all it's glory and if course my old cottage hi to you aswell Bill 👋 great to see the Norman clip . I hope Mum enjoyed her cake looked good enough to eat 😊I'll be off for today have a lovely afternoon stay safe Bill see you tomorrow ❤😊xx
Cheers mate - Another pic in tomorrows video when I add in a few things I didn't mention in todays - Yes crazy how things change - And regards to the culling, its good to say that for once - They are for the better! 👍👍👍
Hi Bill, the history of the Salty was absolutely fascinating to watch. Thanks for sharing it with us. Mum's cake, sorry Marie Antoinette's cake looked almost good enough to have gone to the guillotine for 😂😂😂. I hope mum really enjoyed it with a nice brew to wash it down. See you tomorrow mate. 👍👍👍
Thanks Rob - A little bit more reminiscing and another salty photo in tomorrows video - Basically all the stuff I forgot to say! I should prepare more - Yes, I made mum a cup of tea before I continued my walk 👍👍👍 See you tomorrow 👍
Was great chatting with you Bill. Wasn't there the Bairnscroft in Shaldon? Opposite where you board the ferry. I went to a birthday party as a kid there. Was demolished to build the flats. Think it was the Bairnscroft. Hope you find some info on the arcade. Keep up the good work 👍
Yes, there was supposedly a bairnscroft in Shaldon, but on a recent video I was informed that it was also the name for the hotel in todays vid. Chap seemed pretty sure as (iirc) his mother was in charge of the nursery? I did try to find the Bairnscroft in Shaldon once, as I had a pic (which Ive Since lost) and none of the locals knew anything about it!
@@BillsPhoneTeignmouth I can remember there being a nursery on the bottom floor of the Shaldon one. It was a big, rather cold building when I went in, probably not long before it closed. I think its correct that there was a Teignmouth one too.
Don’t know much about the salty , but I do remember the RSPB saying that hooded crows were seen on it in January 23 . I think it’s a haven for quite a bit of wildlife at low tide. Nice interesting story on it Bill
Hi Bill hope you're well. A most enjoyable virtual walk around back beach and the information about the salty, what is the origin of the name salty?. The cake looked rather tasty I bet you mum enjoyed it, I think I would have had 2 slices too be honest. Best wishes stay safe Jon and Karen
Cheers mate - No Idea on the origin of the name Salty I'm afraid - Like I say I remember it being there, then suddenly around 1981, it wasn't! don't even remember it being dredged! Yes, cake was lovely. It was the 'last slice' so perhaps a little larger than usual 👍
What a stunning day in beautiful Teignmouth, Bill. I am always fascinated by ‘The Salty’, every year we come down. So it’s never completely covered by water, unless it’s a very high tide?
Well, Its really a little bit vast to cover in one of my vids - However there's always the possibly I could perhaps get something up on my website and do a few teasers for it in a week of videos... Lets see 👍👍👍

Yes, possibly because when my Mum watched the video, she said 'Bairnscroft - Oh yes, that was it' 👍👍👍
Lovely place to walk through
Thanks - Or fly through, which I do occasionally - Ive dropped you a sub 👍

Nice interesting story on it Bill
Cheers mate 👍👍👍
No stuntman replacement for Norman! 👍
Nope 😂 👍
'Cake!' ..... Here I am on a remote Scottish island and no chance of 'CAKE!'.....😂 God bless you all family.
Id offer to send you a slice if I thought it would arrive in an edible state 👍👍👍
@@BillsPhoneTeignmouthaha. We ordered a sack of potatoes in July.... Not arrived yet.😂😂😂
Nightmare! 👍
Hi Bill, would love to see a walk from East cliff car park down to sea front via the bridge over the railway lines.
I do that most days mate - Usually via the bridge at the end of the carpark, and often over 'Skew' bridge too 👍
@@BillsPhoneTeignmouth okay thanks, must have just missed that video.

Its covered these days - Not a patch on what it once was - Used to be a permanent island in the Teign, until 1981 👍👍👍
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Cheers Scott 👍
What about a bit of history on Morgan Giles Shipyard
Well, Its really a little bit vast to cover in one of my vids - However there's always the possibly I could perhaps get something up on my website and do a few teasers for it in a week of videos... Lets see 👍👍👍

Cheers Derisley 👍
Nice brixham fishing boat there bill BM markings for brixham teigmouth boats are TH. Just some useless knowledge there
