An interesting feature is the lock-up wooden shed (extreme right) which dispensed tea, light refreshments and provision for vehicles to park (sometimes overnight for a small fee).

MAIDENCOMBE AS I KNEW IT
A fascinating photograph of Maidencombe Cross Post Office as viewed from the field opposite (by the present bus stop Torquay bound). This is how it appeared to me in 1960 when I first arrived in the combe. It was then called Crossways Cafe and incorporated a shop and post office counter. The present day sprawl of flats had yet to mar the landscape.

There is a decided rural village feel, uncluttered by excessive signage which is, regrettably the case today.
