Re Fred And Violet Cole Who Looked After The Donkeys.

A Memory of Clovelly.

[This photo shows Arthur Shackson with the donkeys in Clovelly - identified by Mr Graham Shackson in a comment on this 'memory'. Arthur Shackson was for many years porter for the New Inn Hotel in the village. Fred Cole did have his own donkeys for several years carrying the visitors up the cobbled street.

I was looking on the internet for information about my late great-uncle and aunt, Fred and Violet Cole, who used to look after the donkeys in Clovelly for many years. I would be most grateful to anyone with memories of my uncle and aunt as I wonder about their life in Clovelly, and would love to hear from anyone who might be able to shed some light! Aunty Vi died almost 5 years ago, and although she used to tell me of her life in London and Clovelly it would be lovely to know more.
Thank you.
