i did this one a few years ago. i was bored on a sunday afternoon and decided to blow up our local clock :)
Took advantage of a window in the poor weather last night. I decided to visit Barnstaple Old Bridge and try and do some shots like those I've done in Bideford.
One thing that struck me was the height of the steeple here. Seems as lot taller than most churches.

Once the gateway to the north coast of Devon and Cornwall, it is now situated at the end of a long branch line from Crediton. The Class 101 DMU will later form the 1745 service to Exeter..

Barnstaple is the main town of North Devon, England, and possibly the oldest borough in the United Kingdom. It is a former river port, located at the lowest crossing point of the River Taw, flowing into the Barnstaple Bay, south of the Bristol Channel.
From the fourteenth century, it was licensed to export wool, since the merchants claimed that the town had been declared a free borough in Saxon times. This brought great wealth to Barnstaple, whose town centre still preserves a medieval layout and character. Later the town became an importer of Irish wool, but its harbour silted up, and it developed other industries, such as shipbuilding, foundries and sawmills, which today is no longer in use. Its Victorian market survives, with its high glass and timber roof on iron columns. Since 1974, Barnstaple has been a major civil parish governed by its own town council. The parish itself had a population of 24,034 as of 2017.
In April 1977, 25170 (formerly D7520) waits in a busy Barnstaple Yard with ball clay wagons from Meeth and box vans for conveying bagged fertilizer. The area is now occupied by a retail park.
