Complete...?


All locations now display original photos and I've taken more photos for locations than I had planned, moving all the way down to Palace Avenue.

This should mean I've "completed" the project.

I feel it is far too "quick" to see everything though, so I'm starting to another element - trivia. An example of this can be seen in the screenshot on the left.

I will dot tiny bits of trivia around the town, since there aren't enough websites to link to in the information box, plus it all fits in to my idea.

Seeing past views of Paignton and reading what is written on the backs of postcards gives an unusual social aspect to the project. Incorporating trivia, such as when the pier was built or when the railway reached Paignton when added together help make up what Paignton currently is and what makes it different from its neighbouring towns of Torquay and Brixham.

I've noticed things about Paignton that i'd never noticed before, and hopefully, others who know Paignton and view this project, will notice things they didn't notice before.

The Replacements


I've replaced some of the old Tor-bay.com photos with my own.

I've also changed the squares which showed where the locations are, to circles. I'd used squares to keep with the design, but circles seem to give a nicer aesthetic.
