Was this the boathouse of the Greenway Estate described as the spot where the first victim was discovered in "Dead Man's Folly" 1956 by Agatha Christie. Agatha Christie lived in the nearby Greenway House now owned by the National Trust. |

Yes this is on the river dart as described in the other entries, i used to play there as a child Agatha Christy was a patron of our primary school and we visited her house on several occasions. I remember seeing grafitti carved on the trees by the U S servicemen who departed from here. |

This photo was taken looking north over the tidal River Dart towards Maypool Cottage. The Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway (which was the GWR Kingswear Branch) runs on the right of the photo. The Maypool Boathouse is positively identified in this photo. Agatha Christie fans may find this area of interest as she lived in Greenway House nearby. |

shipping layed up during recession,either,River Fal or River Dart, more likely the Dart with Torquay to Kingwear railway running on the right among the trees. |

I think this is the Helford River in Cornwall near where the King Harry Ferry crosses. This area has been used for decades as a laying up point for Merchant Ships. |

Dear tgarrett, That’s great; we’ve reviewed your comment and thanks to your help we can update the catalogue. The original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry for this image says "Axminster"... The revised record will appear here in due course. Hope you have the same success solving some of our other mysteries! Katy Whitaker Britain from Above Cataloguer |

Checking Google maps, would agree with tgarrett. |

@Onthecoast, could be, but looking at top right hand corner there is a house near what could be the ferry slipway. Checking google maps there is no house or road on that side. I was sure it was the Fal but will have another look. |

River Fal south of King Harry Ferry perhaps? |
