Painting of Starcross c 1820




Painting of Starcross

View of Starcross on the River Exe by Charles Joseph Hullmandel
The BBC website 'Your Paintings'  says this picture is in Exmouth Museum. Has anybody seen it?
It might have been painted by  Charles Joseph Hullmandel (1789 - 1850 ), in around 1820. There's a painting of Combeinteignhhead  which may have been by the same artist

Is it Starcross? What are the buildings in the background?   The Atmospheric caper ; the railway; wasn't built until the 1840s.
