Ilfracombe
Ilfracombe is a seaside resort and civil parish on the North Devon coastline, England. It has a small port and is bordered by cliffs. The parish extends along the coast from the 'Coastguard Cottages' in Hele Bay to the east and 4 miles along the Torrs to Lee Bay towards the west. The resort is hilly and the highest point in the parish limit is at 'Hore Down Gate', 2 miles inland and at 860 feet (270 m) above sea level. The landmark of Hillsborough Hill overlies the harbour and is the site of an Iron Age fortified settlement. In the developed environment, the architectural-award-winning Landmark Theatre is either liked or hated for its abnormal double-conical style. The 13th-century parish church, Trinity, and the St Nicholas's Chapel, which is a lighthouse on Lantern Hill, have actually been joined by the Damien Hirst owned statue, Verity, as points of interest. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town of Ilfracombe has a permanent population of around 11184. Until the middle of the 19th century, Ilfracombe's economy was founded around maritime activities. This included importing lime and coal from Wales, fishing for herring, and global trade to such places as West Africa and the West Indies. In George III and the Regency period, the town, which had a population of 1800, was the home of a large number of navy workers. There were four admirals, several captains, and other commissioned and non-commissioned sailors. Over the 19th century, the town slowly developed into a tourist resort served by ferryboats along the Bristol Channel. The opening of the train further boosted this development. For all your home refurbishments, be sure to find credible contractors in Ilfracombe to make certain of quality.
