@@howardstanbury Thanks; it would also be very interesting to see from the air if any clue as to Bideford Zoo's outline remains, or the old gas works roughly opposite across the Torridge.
The nearest I have of the gasworks is this still, flic.kr/p/2poJzXg, of East-the-Water. The site is at the back of the photo, probably where the large blue building is. Another time maybe (I live 200 miles away). I remember the gasometers as a kid, and I remember there being a zoo, though I never went.
@@howardstanbury Thank you for your kind reply. The 'blue building' is Jewsons, and I am writing this looking out of my window at it from across the river!
Would love to see the (oldest) south end of town - Torridge Hill/Meddon street!
Good suggestion - it's an interesting if less well known part of town. Perhaps the next time I get down there!
