Old Houses, Dawlish

The image shows a historical black-and-white photograph of a row of old houses in Dawlish, as indicated by the text at the bottom of the image: "OLD HOUSES. DAWLISH, 19689." The houses are traditional in style, featuring thatched roofs and whitewashed walls with some visible wear and tear, suggesting their age. They have multiple chimneys, small windows, and a rustic appearance typical of 19th-century rural architecture in England. In front of the houses, there is a dirt or cobblestone street, and a horse-drawn cart is parked near the center of the image, adding to the historical context. The surrounding area appears to be a quiet village setting, with some trees and additional buildings visible in the background. Dawlish is a seaside town in Devon, England, and this photograph aligns with the type of historical imagery that the Dartmoor Trust might archive, as it captures a moment in the region's past. The image provides a glimpse into the architectural and social environment of Dawlish during the late 19th century.
