Graham Burchell You can now hear Graham Burchell read his award winning poem, Dawlish Water on the author's website. http://www.wump.net 4/11/05
Dave Timson I lived at 52 High Street Dawlish, moved to Tresco, Shutterton Lane, then to Australia in 1955. Great to see the old town, still in its glory, but what a shame that Dawlish Warren has been violated. I guess that's progress, but I prefer to remember it as it was in its natural state before the pie stalls took over. I had a paper round in Dawlish, starting from Boons newsagency in The Strand, which I completed before catching the train to Exeter St David, thence to Exeter tec' on the Honiton bypass. I believe the school no longer exists. Great to relive my younger years through your site, I've enjoyed the journey. No, I've never returned to England and I doubt that, at 66, I ever will, but the memories of Dawlish and The Warren are strong. Thanks for a great site. 2/11/05
Karen I used to visit Dawlish as a young girl with my family and loved to go back every year. The last time I went down there was 3 years ago and it had hardly changed. I remember sitting on the station with my dad while he spotted trains! We had a self catering flat right next to the railway line and it was exciting to see and hear the trains at night. I hope to visit either this year or next year, but now have a dog and find it difficult to accommodate him. 28/9/05
