Great footage, we came over from Australia for a holiday last year and spent around a week in Devon and we stayed in Bideford. Beautiful township, was really surprised how nice a town it was! Will come back in the future

Fanks. Really enjoyed it.

Thank you. I loved the short time I lived at East the Water with a great view of the bridge.

Great video. Bideford has a terrific atmosphere and the folks are very warm and friendly. The historic C19th cottages are really beautiful too. I hope the town keeps its charm forever.

Great video. It's very true that living here you just don't really think much about it, it's just Bideford, amazing to think what has made our little town what it is today 😁👍

Yeah absolutely, it's fascinating what you can find out when you start looking into things.

thank you so much, this video helped me so much with a project

Happy days. Worked in Royal Hotel and the amazing Pot Black factory. c1983 Roof Tops Arcade with Wimpy below. Aswad played at Catch22. Knock off ray-bans due to Levi adverts. The Anchor, Black Ketch, Celler Bar under the Gannet. Happy days.

Thank You xx

Ford in any town name means river not fort, think it comes from Norwegian 'fjord'. Bide is old English for 'by the', so Bideford is 'by the river'. Stafford, Bedford, Oxford, Hereford etc.

Great video and great town. Lived here for six years in the seventies and really miss it. I can't believe I have not walked up Chudleigh Fort yet! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, it's surprising what you miss right on your doorstep when you live somewhere, I've only been here about 2 years, and only just learned about the place.

Wonderful video that, you have created. Architectural views of hotels, buildings, landscape are very much beautiful and unbelievable and like to visit and see. Thanks for such a nice video. I liked your Video. SUBSCRIBED to your Channel. Thanks

Thanks mate. Really nice video and I learnt a couple of things I never knew despite growing up in Bideford in the 1970's.

Thanks, much appreciated, and yeah, their is usually always something people never knew about where they grew up. All the best.

Have friends living in Appledore, and they always diss Bideford as a run-down place with a drugs problem. I don't know if that's fair, but I'll make a point of visiting next time because it looks just fine to me! (Given all places have their own problems). Thank you. Great vid! 👍

Yeah, I guess like a lot of places you have the good areas and bad areas, I have seen many people out on the street drinking and smoking weed, but luckily I have never encountered any problems with any people.

Great video. The cells in the hotel would be amazing to see. The witch house and graveyards would be a good project. Thanks for sharing!

Great video, thanks for sharing. I’m local and it’s so true that most of the history goes unnoticed as we potter around day to day. I do stop on occasion and have a wonder about the old buildings and architecture from time to time. Really like bit about the train station and royal hotel, have you got any more info on this area as I’m really interested in this? I’ve been to the heritage centre and local library to find out for myself, do you know when and why the hotel has 2 rear entrances to the station platform? Subscribed 👍 Cheers Ivi

Hi, thanks for your comment, and to be honest, I'm not sure about the rear entrance to the hotel, I'm sure I only scratched the surface whilst doing my research on the area, and I'm sure their is plenty more to be found out, I may look into it a little more at some point. Thanks again, all the best.

I’ve never seen you before 🤔
