From its scenic vantage point on the North Devon coast, the seaside
town of Ilfracombe has seen many changes in its long history. In
this unique selection of old and new images from the archives of
the Ilfracombe Museum, many of which are previously unpublished
photographs, the reader is invited to share a nostalgic glimpse of
Ilfracombe in days gone by. Its situation as the only port on a
long stretch of dangerous coast made it ideal for smaller trading
ships and fishing vessels who docked in the harbour to load and
unload their cargo, while the clear sea air made the town a popular
destination for tourists from the cities. We explore the hotels,
theatres, halls and public rooms where the crowds were entertained,
and visit the streets and lanes, houses, schools, shops and people
that have played a part in shaping the town of today. Accompanied
by informative and detailed text, this outstanding collection
offers a valuable record of the past that is sure to appeal to both
residents and visitors alike.
