I did of course recognise one of them in the middle on an initial scroll. Lovely setting. A shot from over by the dugouts across the pitch would have given it away immediately. Are any of them rugby grounds? I was thinking the last one.

Are any of them rugby grounds? I was thinking the last one. And so you should have recognised that wonderfully scenic setting alongside one of Devon's finest rivers. There are rugby grounds featured. Several of them. Including a field which, I believe, has seen a change of code in recent years. |

Almost appropriately making an April Fool of myself, I sent a good 10 minutes pondering whether No.3 was Launceston. I was sure there was a row of trees behind the goal on my one and only visit. Thankfully I did eventually remind myself of the name of the quiz and ruled out Launceston.
No.7 Okehampton
No.9 Seaton
Greatly looking forward to eventually learning the locations of some interesting photos. |

Number 7 is not Okehampton but it is reminiscent. And, should you find it on a map, you'll see it is both a geographical similarity and a geographical opposite.
Number 9 is indeed Seaton Town. I'm of the opinion it should be called Caravan Park with the four sides being known as the:
- Caravan End (North)
- Caravan Side
- Caravan End (South)
- Road Side.

Picture 11 juat has to be the Torquay Recreation Ground clock still going after all these years ! Very similar to the one that blew off the roof of the Plainmoor grandstand in the 1930 hurricane apparentlty.

Yes, it's the grandstand clock at Torquay Athletic.
Do we know its age?

Yes, it's the grandstand clock at Torquay Athletic. Do we know its age? I was 99% certain on that one which is why I asked whether rugby grounds were included, and your reply confirmed it. I would think just a glance from Budleigh would give you the answer to your question  |

2 is Beer Albion.
It may have been possible to deduce this with a magnifying glass.
But I'd like to think the view towards Seaton was recognisable.

Mentioned here: torquayfansforum.co.uk/thread/9905/new-plainmoor-clockA reminder that TUFC looked finished in 1930, as we have done many times before and after. Plus ça change ..... |

The answers are correct.
So that's:
1. Alphington
2. Beer Albion
4. Barnstaple RFC
8. Seale Hayne
9. Seaton Town
11. Torquay Athletic
Of the rest, one is next door to one which has already been identified.
Stefano's presence on this thread gives a considerable clue to the particularly scenic view.
A coastal rugby ground is here somewhere.
One unpretentious ground is tucked away around the back of somewhere that may be routinely familiar for many.
Another is one which, given its relative prominence, I'm surprised hasn't been guessed already.
