Tessier Gardens, Torquay

https://www.torbay.gov.uk/tessiergardens

"Tessier Gardens are a small and delightful park situated between Babbacombe and St. Marychurch. In 1933 the gardens were gifted to the town by Mrs H A Tessier. A 'Sun temple' was constructed later the same year in recognition of Mrs Tessier's generosity. A scented garden for the blind was designed and planted in 1975 with the botanical names of the plants etched in Braille on copper plates.
In accordance with the covenants bestowed upon the council in 1933, children under the age of 18 are not permitted in the gardens.

Photo of a bench, Taken in black and white. Hopefully adds to the effect rather than in it being in color. Bottle on bench is not mine but also adds more to the picture.

Photo of the driver area of the steam train. I took both color and black and white but the colour photo to me is better as it shows items up better, especially the hat.

Can someone give me the correct name for this part of the train please,

If you are not too keen on spiders, you may not like the look of this.

Photo of the grass field where we play football, covered in spiders webs. There were lots of tiny spiders all over. Try to sit down and you get spiders on you.

Pretty spectacular when viewed at ground level.
