Hankridge Farm Sainsbury's.

Taunton's only out of town shopping centre is close to the M5 junction. Other stores on site include B&Q, Comet, Curry's and Halfords but the stores are quite small in comparison with those outside larger towns.

The Merry Monk. Monkton Heathfield.

The conveniently located bus stop is handy for those monks who get a little too merry.

Monkton Elm.

Taunton's largest Garden Centre is privately owned. Unlike the national chains the emphasis is still on living plants! On the day the picture was taken Santa Claus himself was visiting.

The "Master Thatcher", Taunton

It may be thatched but this is a modern pub, next to a Tesco Express and set amidst the extensive housing estates of south-east Taunton. Seen from the south across Lisieux (twin town) Way. 2:30 pm

Tractor graveyard beside the A3259

Tractors seem to congregate in this field when their working life is over. The main road leads north eastwards out of Taunton.

St. Teresa of Lisieux

This Roman Catholic Church was built at the same time as the Priorswood (housing) Estate. The smaller building to the right side is accommodation for the clergy. Although the usual spelling is St. Theresa, the "h" seems to be missing in this case.

The Holiday Inn and the Harvester are to the right of the fountain.
