Get Yelverton Pro’s

Yelverton is a huge town 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 village became a popular home for Plymouth commuters. The railway is currently shut, yet the Plym Valley Railway has resumed a section of it. Yelverton is popular for Roborough Rock – a popular mass of rock close to the Plymouth road on the fringe of neighboring Roborough Down, near the southern end of the airfield. It offered its name to the Rock Hotel, developed as a ranch during the Elizabethan period, yet converted in the 1850s to cater for expanding tourist in the area. The location to the south and west of the roundabout at the centre of the village was worked out in late Victorian and also Edwardian times, with lots of grand and opulent vacation homes. A location developed at about the very same time on a weird designed piece of land to the south of the Tavistock road is referred to as Leg o’ Mutton Corner. At the beginning of the Second World War, a landing field (RAF Harrowbeer) was built at nearby Harrowbeer as a fighter terminal for the air support of Devonport Dockyard and the Western Approaches. A 19th century terrace of homes, currently mostly converted into shops, needed to have its top floor removed to give a much easier approach. One tall building which was not altered was St. Paul’s Church, yet the tower was hit by an aircraft, resulting in a caution light being fitted. The design of the paths is still extremely clear and also although they are significantly grassed over, the many planet and block protective shelters developed to shield the competitors from assault on the ground are all still in position. Some American airmen and anti-aircraft battery devices were based below during the 2nd half of the battle. An aircraft bring President Roosevelt landed below when its initial location was fogbound.
