A rain-battered pub which has views over the River Exe has been closed after its roof and wall collapsed on Sunday morning. The family-run Ship Inn at Cockwood, near Dawlish, is understood to be made from cob, a natural building material made from subsoil, water, fibrous organic material - usually straw - and sometimes lime.
Residents and visitors have said the building appeared fine on Saturday when they walked past but this morning it was a different story entirely.

One visitor told DevonLive: "It looks like the council has shut off part of the road. We were walking our dog past the pub on Saturday and there was nothing wrong at all, but when we went past today - well, it's all gone."
The BBC has reported that the family currently running the pub has been there since 2007 and hoped to have it back up and running as soon as possible. A spokesperson for the pub said some staff were in the building at the time but fortunately nobody was behind the bar near to where the wall gave way.
The spokesperson told BBC Devon that the cob wall had been surveyed by specialists on a number of occasions but the family was "never told it was dangerous".
