RESIDENTS in a new Bovey Tracey housing estate will soon discover the origin of their street names.

On Sunday a plaque will be unveiled explaining that the street names remember local men who died in the First World War.

Sitting atop a granite post at the entrance to the estate on Bradley Bends, the plaque will say the 13 men after whom the roads were named – seven at Williams Gate and six more at The Tors development – died in the ‘war to end all wars’.

The memorial plaque is the idea of the Bovey Tracey Heritage Trust and has taken several years of negotiations to bring about.
