APPLEDORE and NEIGHBOURHOOD

From

London and Provincial New Commercial Directory,

London, J. Pigot & Co. (1830)

Transcribed by John BISHOP <100041.1516[at]compuserve[dot]com> and made available with his kind permission.

Appledore is a small sea port town in the hundred of Shebbear situated on the side of a hill about 3 miles downstream of Bideford....... Appledore has long been the resort of the neighbouring gentry, when they wished to inhale its breezes and bathe in its pellucid waters........ It is well supplied with fish and all other articles, by its own markets, and those of Bideford & Barnstaple. .....The sea views are remarkably fine and the walks and rides in the vicnity of the town partake of all that romantic scenery for which the norther coast of Devon has ever been so much admired.
