Western Morning NewsThursday, 1 December 1938Yealm Oyster Beds“Never Insanitary”Expert’s Assurance atPlymouthDenial that the River Yealmoyster beds had ever beenclose or made insanitary onaccount of pollution was madeby Mr P S Bulleid chairman ofthe Sanitary Inspectors’Association, South­WesternCentre, addressing Plymouthand District Branch of theDevonshire Association in theAthenaeum, Plymouth, lastnight.Mr Bulleid referred to thepossibilities of pollutionincreasing due to thedischarge of an augmentedamount of crude sewage fromnew houses, bungalows andfrom yachts and house boatsmoored in the estuary.“To avoid any trouble in thefuture,” he said, “the ownersought the advice of the PortHealth Authorities in 1935.”“I would like to make it clearthat at no time has the Port ofPlymouth Health Authoritiesever closed down the Yealm.What we have done is to takeprecautions to prevent anyillness ever being attributed tothese layings and bringingthem into disrepute.”Mr Bulleid repeated the paperon “Shellfish” which he gavelast September to the annualconference of sanitaryinspectors held in Edinburgh.He dealt in the main withcockles, mussels, winkles, andoysters as representing thetype of shellfish likely to causecertain kinds of infection.SUCCESSFULPURIFICATION“I hope I have established two

main facts,” he said. “First ,this class of shellfish is veryliable to pollution, and thatrisk of pollution appears to beincreasing, even though it maybe sporadic in occurrence.Second is that methods ofpurification are now availableand have proved successful incommercial practice.”He was strongly in favour ofsome form of compulsorycleansing.

JaneElliott 1851Pamela Willcocks sent thefollowing message fromBermuda: ­“Hello Geoff,On occasion, I look throughthe excellent Devon Heritagewebsite. So I was pleasantly

surprised today to stumble onyour Bulleid research.For many years I’ve beenstumped with Thomas Bulleidwho married late 1851 to myJane Elliott of Ermington.They simply disappear afterthat. I can’t reconcile anyemigration. And if he’s the onewho you state died 1855 inCombeinteignhead, I wonderif you’ve seen his Will and thatit mentions Jane his wife.(Still – I can’t find her re­marriage or death – so Iwonder if they emigrated).The marriage register showshis father as James, an ag laband he, “a labourer fromTorquay in the parish ofUpton”. Witnesses were Jane’sfamily.My hunch is that James is theone who you state married1815 and was apprenticed toThomas Davey. But you onlymention one son, John.There only seems to be oneThomas on the 1841 – with aTanton family inPetrockstowe. I don’t know ifthat’s him – or the Thomaswho emig to Canada . I doknow they are not one and thesame.Can you shed any light onthis?Cheers,Pamela”I cannot identify the peoplementioned.

There was a coldperiod when we arrived, anddaytime temps. were a bitbelow 19c but the snow hasgone from Victoria and SouthAus. so we are now revelling inthe mid.20s. This is the way Iremember Aussie. The familyhave made us so very welcomeand we have been for severaldrives in the valleys behind

the coast. They are verybeautiful with nice littlehouses tucked away in thebush. Not as civilised or prettylike England mainly becausetheir bush is comprised ofbluegums and evergreens.There are all sorts ofinteresting shops and littlevillages back there and theygive the girls something tolook at. There are also artists’showrooms and art shopswhich can have interestingthings. A year or two ago wesaw some pictures by the sonof a Dutch immigrant artistwho followed in his father'sfootsteps and surpassed him.We thought they were sodecorative that over a periodwe have bought three. Theartists name is GerardMutsaers and I saw the otherday that Prince Charles andthe Queen also have one ortwo, so we are in goodcompany. Ours are smallerthan theirs! They are verydecorative in our apartment.

Most days we see whalessurfacing and leaping orblowing and it make aninteresting spectacle,particularly as being 11 storeysup and on a headland whichforces them to changedirection, we sometimes seethem only a hundred yards orso from the beach. I seeMarion is out on the balconyreading, so think I shall joinher.”Kevin and Alison Kelleherspent two months touringearlier this year and havekindly sent this account: ­“We left our MelbourneAustralia home in mid Mayand spent eight days inPortugal with 2 of those days

in Lisbon. Proceeding northwe visited Sintra and thenstayed a night in the walledvillage of Obidos. Thence toFatima, after which wetracked partly along the DouroValley, and through Porto.

In the north, it was ourintent to go into the highercountry, but it was at that timea band of weather with rainand low cloud swept acrossPortugal, so we drove alongriver valleys when we could.

Further south we visited theGuarda area, then the walledtown of Marvao near theSpanish border. Later on wespent a night at the walledvillage of Monsarez, eastsouth­east of Lisbon.

Then to England to spendthree weeks mainly with our2nd daughter resident insouthern Oxfordshire, and wenaturally enjoyed that. Arrivalwas near the tail­end of asunny warm spell, followed bymainly showery weather –even the locals werecommenting on it.There were a few small thingswe wanted to do for ourdaughter, but the weather beatus on an outside painting job.On one of two short trips awaystaying at a small hotel, a falsefire warning & evacuationoccurred at 1am, followed byanother at 2.30am.This ensured our bed hadsome respite!

From England it was off toCalgary in western Canada topick up a car, and then tonational parks to the west andsouth, then further south intoUSA to more national parks.We were just about theoriginal armchair tourists,with little wear to our shoes!One park we had visited only 3

years ago, some 23 years ago, and some not previously. Restassured most of the wildlife photos were taken from within theconfines of the car! Scenery at the parks was magnificent.Alison was the photographer and her camera is limited to 4xoptical zoom, so we couldn’t get as close­up as we would haveliked for some of the wildlife.

On returning the car to Calgary, we flew to Vancouver for 3nights there. Queen Elizabeth garden was Just as good as 23years ago. From Vancouver it was a long one­stop flight home,having been away for 2 months.”Some of Alison’s photos are on bulliedfamily.com in an albumentitled ‘The Kellehers’ Holiday’. They are well worth a visit.
