New Agatha Christie statue in her home town Torquay, Devon

On 12 April 2025, Torquay's Harbourside celebrated its most famous daughter, Agatha Christie, with the unveiling of a magnificent statue in her honour.

The statue, which includes her favourite dog Peter, has been created by a local artist Elisabeth Hadley and is part of the town's new Harbourside Plaza.

Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and remained on the English Riviera for much of her life, with many of her books being set locally or inspired by the surrounding Devon scenery.

Central Church, Torquay, 2025

What great luck to simply happen upon such a beautiful building. The striking tower signifies the union of three previous churches which united in order to build a new church fit for modern day needs. Designed by Edward Narracott, Tanner and André, built 1975.

Fun fact from the church website's history section:

The Hall is high enough to be used for championship badminton.

Great Ocean Road, Australia: The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage-listed 240-kilometre stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia, between the Victorian towns of Torquay and Allansford. Built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road is the world's largest war memorial. Winding through varying terrain along the coast, and providing access to several prominent landmarks, including the Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations, the road is an important tourist attraction. The Great Ocean Road starts at Torquay and runs westward to finish at Allansford, near Warrnambool. Wikipedia.
