BRIDGERULE Devon BRIDGERULE Devon Bridgerule Brochure NEW layout WEB.indd 1 09/06/2021 11:54 Welcome to DLUX Rising above the ordinary DLUX was established in 2017 by three property specialists, each with over 30 years’ experience covering refurbishment, new build, quantity surveying and finance. Bringing these complementary skills together, and determined to rise above the ordinary, we established our guiding vision: to create distinctive, stylish and desirable homes which maximised both space and budgets. At the heart of this is an absolute commitment to quality – in materials, design and project management. Since our first development in Market Drayton, DLUX currently have six other projects across the Midlands and the South West. At the same time, we are building a reputation for quality and desirability that owners will be proud to call their home.

Sharing its name with the village, this prestigious development is also beautifully situated. Surrounded by fields with far-reaching views, it comprises 9 spacious and distinctive 2/3 bedroom luxury Dormer bungalows on a small exclusive plot. True to DLUX’s philosophy, each home is built to the very highest standards. Inside, superior materials – including brushed chrome fittings and oak-styled doors - create a distinct feeling of luxurious comfort, while integrated alarms and video doorbells bring added peace of mind. Outside, modern decking adds practical character while bi-fold doors help create a seamless transition between home and garden. While the quality of the finish in these beautifully built homes is high, the finishing touches are always provided by you. With a wide choice of kitchen colours, carpets, tiles and fittings to match your own personal tastes, it’s about true quality, tailored individually to you.

A few miles to the West lies Bude and the rugged Cornish coast. A similar distance east, Holsworthy has been labelled Devon’s most traditional town with market charters dating back to the 12th Century. A little further afield the wilderness of Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin Moor welcomes adventurous walkers. Bridgerule itself has a long history, and in 1086 was recorded as Brige in the Domesday Book. Probably owing its full name to Ruald, a local landowner at the time, the village still features notable Norman architecture, including The Parish Church (St Bridget’s), and Tackbear Farmhouse. Bridgerule is divided by the River Tamar, which marked the border between Devon and Cornwall until 1844. On the eastern side, you’ll find the parish church, methodist chapel and primary school. To the west you’ll find shops, pubs and the residential areas, including the DLUX development which sits on the very edge of the village. In the 2011 census, Bridgerule’ s population was just 1,734, so it’s a quiet and unspoiled setting with a strong sense of community. While it’s a quiet rural village, Bridgerule is well connected to mainline stations at Liskeard, Barnstaple and Okehampton, all of which are within 25 miles - while the whole of Devon and Cornwall is literally on your doorstep.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 1 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by Susan Jane Hess, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, July 2006. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ………………………………………. 1 ABSTRACT Extensive sources have been reviewed and analysed to piece together for the first time a detailed academic study of civilian evacuation to Devon1 viewed against the national backdrop. The primary focus of this thesis is the large number of unaccompanied children who were officially evacuated to the County under the auspices of the Government Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War. However, Chapter Six discusses the evacuation of mothers and accompanying children, unofficial (private) evacuees and private school parties. The majority of evacuated children arriving in Devon originated from the London area and southeastern counties. In addition large numbers of children were also evacuated to the County from Bristol and within the County from Plymouth (Devon) during 1941 and briefly from Exeter in May 1942. Each of the three national evacuation waves is considered individually throughout the text as they are quite distinct in complexion, a fact frequently ignored in generalised accounts which tend to focus on reaction to the initial wave.

  • Dw210512psc Street Lighting Update Hk 06 300512
    CDW/12/12 Place Scrutiny Committee 12 June 2012 Street Lighting: Update Report of the Head of Capital Development and Waste Management 1. Summary This report provides an update on street lighting, including information on the lighting stock, the current street lighting policy, progress on delivery of the policy on part night lighting, an overview of technology developments and the forward priorities for street lighting. 2. Information on the Devon Street Lighting Stock In Devon, there are over 76,000 street lighting units 12,000 illuminated traffic signs, beacons and illuminated bollards. The revenue budget in 2012/13 for maintaining and operating the street lighting stock is £4.767M, of which £3.4m is for energy costs. Street lighting accounts for 23.8% of the County Council’s carbon footprint (ref: Cabinet Report EE/11/12). 3. Current DCC Street Lighting Policy The current DCC street lighting policy was approved in July 2007 (ref: EEC/07/216/HQ) (and is summarised on the DCC Website as shown in Appendix I) and the decision to implement part night lighting in residential areas was approved in January 2009 (ref: EEC/09/8/HQ). The street lighting policy included a number of measures to reduce the energy consumption of the street lighting stock and, as a consequence to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions from street lighting. The approved policy for the introduction of part night lighting in residential areas means some street lights that were previously on all-night long will now be lit between dusk and about 12:30am and will then be switched off until about 5:30am, they will then be lit from about 5:30am until dawn.
