More about this scene

By the mid 1950s, tourism was starting to occupy a more important position in the Dales economy, alongside the traditional industries of farming and lead mining. The Lock Heather Guest House and Post Office, with its pillar-type post-box outside the front gate, was an indication of changing times.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My family, that is my mum and dad and two sisters, went to Hele Bay Hotel for our summer holidays for three years, arriving at Ilfracombe on the Alantic Coast Express from Waterloo. Great holidays when you are a young lad, and walking over the Torrs to Ilfracombe. Fond memories from all those years ago. I am now 82 years of age and this is a new thing for me, cheers.
