What delight to find your website with Hedgeland's Model of Exeter. I'll be walking many footpaths there now, wondering whom I might meet along the way!Burnhardtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882578413887103850.post-54884017223061798762012-03-03T00:34:24.730+00:002012-03-03T00:34:24.730+00:00Thanks Steve.

The Hedgeland model is probably the closest thing we'll get to an Exeter time machine.wolfpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806875968340034510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882578413887103850.post-59138560117708839162012-03-02T00:13:27.478+00:002012-03-02T00:13:27.478+00:00Amazing!

Having spent 30 of my life since the early 70s living in this wonderful city, and I say wonderful despite everything that has gone on, I'm also saddened by what's gone before and only mildly excited about what may become of it. If I was granted one wish it would be to get myself a time machine, position myself strategically around the city and go back over the centuries stopping off for a wander here and there/then, taking in all the wonderful sights that have gone before. Keep up the good work and I'll be checking back regularly.p6stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011623926122804568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882578413887103850.post-2739017975921403852012-02-01T23:55:14.584+00:002012-02-01T23:55:14.584+00:00Thanks, Art.

The Cathedral Close looks very different and it's quite hard to make existing buildings fit in with the ones shown on the model. Between No. 11 and the city wall are a big number of different structures some of which must've been related to the Archdeacons of Cornwall. Their house was demolished in the 19th century (rebuilt as the big grey block near New Cut). The Treasurer's House attached to the north tower of the Cathedral is also shown on the model. There's almost a never-ending number of buildings to write about in Exeter!wolfpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806875968340034510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882578413887103850.post-88257528383176772222012-01-12T21:50:05.619+00:002012-01-12T21:50:05.619+00:00Thank you Wolfpaw for more information on this.
