Yelverton is a big village on the south-western edge of Dartmoor, Devon, in England. When Yelverton railway station (on the Great Western Railway (GWR) line from Plymouth to Tavistock) opened up in the 19th century, the town ended up being a prominent residence for Plymouth commuters. The railway is currently shut, yet the Plym Valley Railway has reopened an area of it. Yelverton is well known for Roborough Rock – a famous mass of stone near to the Plymouth road on the edge of neighboring Roborough Down, near the southerly end of the airfield. It offered its name to the Rock Hotel, developed as a farm throughout the Elizabethan period, but transformed in the 1850s to cater for expanding tourism in the location. The area to the south and also west of the roundabout at the centre of the town was worked out in late Victorian as well as Edwardian times, with many grand as well as luxurious rental properties. An area established at concerning the same time on a strange shaped tract to the south of the Tavistock road is called Leg o’ Mutton Corner. At the beginning of the Second World War, a landing field (RAF Harrowbeer) was created at surrounding Harrowbeer as a competitor terminal for the air protection of Devonport Dockyard as well as the Western Approaches. A 19th century balcony of residences, now mainly converted into stores, had to have its top floor eliminated to provide a less complicated technique. One tall structure which was not altered was St. Paul’s Church, however the tower was hit by an aircraft, causing a warning light being fitted. The layout of the paths is still very clear as well as although they are substantially grassed over, the many earth as well as brick safety shelters developed to protect the competitors from assault on the ground are all still in place. Some American airmen and also anti-aircraft battery devices were posted here during the second fifty percent of the war. A plane lugging President Roosevelt landed here when its original destination was fogbound.
