East The Water
Hi Folks,
I am looking for an old photograph. Just over the bridge on the East The Water side of Bideford is the parking lot for the Royal Hotel. In days gone by, and in my youth, as I was born in Torrington Street, it used to be a square. At the edge of the square which was the bridge end of Torrington Street was a fish and chip shop. At the top of the building of the fish and chip shop was mounted a sculptered eagle.
Does anyone have a photo of this eagle please
The granddaughter of the fish and chip owners is a wonderful lady. We drifted apart to different sides of the world, but due to a beautiful set of events we have been brought back together. We recently said hello to each other after a gap of 50 years, just magic.
I hope that somebody might be able to help
Thanks in advance
Eddie Neylon

RE: RE: East The Water
To Eddie Naylon - ref your comment about the eagle at the end of Torrington Street, Bideford: in the Bideford Library is a local section that has a book containing local history. There is a picture of the Methodist church in Torrington Street and the eagle can just be made out on left hand side of the frame, it may be possible to enlarge and view it more easily. Hope this helps. Regards, Jaybee
