EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Steep Stroll Through Time: The New Inn, Ilfracombe, Devon - 1924" This photograph transports us back to the 1920s, as we gaze upon the steep and picturesque street of Ilfracombe, Devon. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the cobblestones, illuminating the quaint houses and buildings that line the narrow passage. The crisp air is filled with the salty scent of the sea, a constant reminder of the coastal resort's proximity. At the heart of this historic scene stands the New Inn, its inviting pub sign beckoning passersby. The red, white, and blue emblem, adorned with the image of a welcoming innkeeper, is a testament to the rich history and tradition that has long defined this seaside town. The pub, with its charming facade and timeworn appearance, has likely served as a gathering place for locals and tourists alike for generations. As we imagine the people of Ilfracombe going about their daily lives, we can't help but be captivated by the sense of community and connection that seems to radiate from this photograph. The laughter and conversation that once filled the New Inn's cozy interior, the bustling activity of the marketplace, and the sound of children playing in the streets - all of these elements come together to paint a vivid picture of life in a bygone era. The New Inn, with its enduring charm and historic significance, remains an integral part of Ilfracombe's coastal landscape. As we take in the beauty of this scene, we are reminded of the power of history to transport us to another time and place, and the importance of preserving the stories and traditions that define our communities.
