HRH Duke of Edinburgh
Guy Vincent
Incidentally April 9th also happens to be the anniversary of the birth of Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806 - 1859) and Dr Alexander Moulton of The Hall, Bradford-on-Avon (1920 - 2012), designer of the Moulton range of small-wheeled bicycles and various suspension systems used by the British Motor Corporation in the 1960s and 70s. Dr Moulton received the Queen's Award for Industry in 1967 and met the late Duke on a number of occasions, Prince Philip having a deep interest in technology and engineering.

The area's vegetation is being cleared by contractors and they have worked along the up main side revealing the former Newquay branch track bed. The wonderful splash of colour from the wild rhododendron may be cut back this year prior to it blooming.
Kind regards, Craig
