Penguins go missing in Newton Abbot

News Brief

Lost penquins of Newton Abbot

Full Story:

October 12th 2011
One of those strange co-incidences: Yesterday we received an order for pebbles for the penguin enclosure at the Sealife Centre in London - apparently penguins are quite fussy as to the size of pebbles they exercise their feet on - the type of penguin I know not, but I now know that they love to hop around on our 50-80mm Caledonian pebbles. And then today up hops the West Midlands Safari Park with an order for limpet shells as decoration for their penguin park.

All this reminded me of the lost penguins of my home town of Newton Abbot. Long before the notorious traffic bottle-neck that is the Penn Inn Roundabout, the Torquay road simply passed the solid wall and conker trees that was the cartilage of Forde House and just before the fork that took the road to Shaldon, with two concrete penguins atop its roof was the Penguin Inn. Again why Penguin Inn I know not, what happened to the penguins is also a mystery, but no one (even in a state of sobriety!) could say Penguin Inn – hence, it was always known as Penn Inn. The shortened name seems to have stuck, as today the popular pub and restaurant is still known as the Pen Inn

Our images show our pebbles and limpets together with the popular Pen Inn Restuarant in Newton Abbot
