    I had some relatives who lived in Irsha street no3 and 5 that got washed away. The pub they had was through the doorway to the left while you were talking about The George. Also has a relatives name on the war memorial just out side the church. Also the pub before you go towards the car park and irsha st, was owned by other more recent relatives,

      @@CalliesDiaries We have traced my family backto1640s and Taddiport. There was a Leper house that housed the minister to Taddiport chapel (which is still there) on the other side of the bridge from Torrington who turned out to be a relative. On golf links road in westward ho! there is a bungalow we’ve known, as a holiday let now, but the owner has put the name plaque on the wall pavement side. It’s a bit eerie to me to see my maiden name but it makes me happy to see Penhorwood so thank you.
      And thank you for for your walks and info. Can you tell me where the plaque for ‘Bloody Corner’ is? Northam?

      @@ThePurleflower Hiya, I know Taddiport as I lived in Torrington for a while. Bloody Corner is literally a bend in the road on the A386 (Churchill Way) to Appledore between North Street and JH Taylor Drive - just before Marshford Camping field. If you look on google maps and zoom in you will see the bend in the road. If you can drop into street view you can see there is a little parking area and a farm road running down the side. You could easily whizz past it in the car and not know it's there - it's located in a wall, it's about 2ft high with metal bars in front of it. I am in North Devon again next week, I will try and video it for you so you can see.

    We stayed five fabulous years staying at Appledore . And adore the place, and began to be recognised by the staff at John's. First time we stayed on Meeting Street, the the following four years we rented cottages overlooking the sea/river on Irsha Street. Appledore is a fabulous place to base your visit to North Devon. No visit is complete without trying the fish and chips from Sylvesters! Thank you for your great video, it has brought back so many memories. I cannot wait until I get a chance to come and stay again.

      Hi Bill, thank you for your lovely comment and I am so glad you enjoyed the walk around. With lockdown we haven't been able to get back down to see family and now that the kids are all off school we are going to wait until a bit later in the year. Hope you get down there again soon too, Callie xx

    Forgot all about Appledore. I was there as a kid in the early 70s with my parents. Kinda woulda been nice to see some of the shops, businesses etc but nice to watch.

    • @CalliesDiaries

      Hi Yogi, there are very few shops in Appledore now, the largest is on the front owned by John's of Instow which is a Deli and Cafe in what used to be the Co-op/Londis and 2 other shops are theirs as well, then a charity shop, gift shop, another cafe on the Quay. Most properties are now either 2nd homes or holiday rentals. We walked and videoed all the roads where the main shops are/once were. There are a couple on Marine Parade that are antique shops. Fish and chip shops on side roads, two pubs down Irsha Street, but sadly that is all. It's certainly changed a great deal over the years. Many thanks for your comments xx
