Starcross Institution, Exeter, Devon: A tranquil scene of Frost-covered reeds beside the estuary of the River Exe in Powderham, Starcross, Devon, Great Britain, painted in the midst of winter's embrace. The oak tree on the banks stands tall and proud, its leaves long shed, as the river's gentle current flows beneath. Once a Western Counties Idiot Asylum, Starcross Institution now holds a peaceful history. This picturesque village, located at EX6 8 Map, has been captured in time through various engravings, such as the 1851 view of Exmouth from Starcross. Amidst the serene landscape, a barge glides along the River Gade, adding a touch of charm to the winter wonderland.
