Description
Bideford and District Lost to Time By Julia Barnes, Anthony Barnes, and Peter Christie This photographic history explores the changing face of Bideford and its surrounding district over the last century. From the sixteenth-century trading port that once dominated the River Torridge, to the decline of shipbuilding and the fishing fleet in the twentieth century, the book portrays a corner of the South West that has undergone significant transformation. The authors capture the old bridge, pier, wartime activities, and lost businesses such as factories, mines, and lime kilns, as well as people and street scenes. The book also examines the changing face of neighbouring towns like Instow and Northam. With its unique blend of history, architecture, and photography, Lost Bideford & District is a fascinating portrait of a region that will appeal to locals and those who remember it from previous decades. Through its pages, the book presents a comprehensive look at industries, buildings, and people that have gone, as well as popular places of entertainment.
