The huge crowd of villagers were entertained by the Heather and Gorse Clog... [more]

Devon memories
As a child my annual family holiday was spent in Shaldon, first staying at The Teign Crest as a baby and small child, later at The Clipper. Two weeks of blissful freedom - shoeless and carefree. Not many cars in the village in the 1960s, so we children ran wild, only turning up at feeding times. Great family mackerel fishing jaunts,... [more]

Dancing in the street by the Ferry Boat Inn
The two Shaldon ferry boats were at anchor when our Morris Dancers performed in front of the Ferry Boat Inn this week. They looked just like this photograph - although there were no sails!
It was a lovely warm July evening with a good crowd of folks sitting at the beachside tables in front of the Inn watching the... [more]

From internet research, it would appear that the Victorian artist Sydney Curnow Vosper, who was born in 1866 at Stonehouse in Plymouth, died at this hotel in Shaldon 10th July 1942.
He painted what became a very famous painting entited 'Salem'. The painting shows the congregation inside a small Baptist chapel in Cefncymerau, Llanbedr, near Harlech, North Wales. The chapel... [more]

The most beautiful place to grow up
I just ‘stumbled’ across this site whilst looking for information about Shaldon. How lovely to recall childhood memories. Viewing the photographs, the shot of the Ness House c1955. I grew up there; we lived at the Ness House throughout the 1950’s, I attended Shaldon Primary, was a choir boy at St Peter’s Church and a cub with the 1st Shaldon pack.... [more]

Barnstaple Photographic Memories
A superb study of the Long Bridge, taken at low tide. The iron supports of the railway bridge, just 25 years old at this time, are visible beyond. The building at the right hand end of the bridge is the Athenaeum, built in 1872. Next door (left) are Bridge End Buildings. These were demolished in 1962 when the bridge was last widened.
This is an extract from Barnstaple Photographic Memories.

Taken from the south shore, this view features two attractive clinker-built rowing boats still afloat as the tide streams out. Boating was extremely popular in this reach upstream of the bridge, a popularity which lasted until relatively recent times.

This view shows the river at low water, again with evidence of boating. The Imperial Hotel (centre left) has just completed a major expansion programme. Huge gilt letters that will be fixed to the guttering of the new portion are not yet in place. More views of this elegant hotel can be seen in photographs Nos 45717 & 64572 on pages 64 to 66....
