Cobble Hill Public House Road Village
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charm and character of Clovelly's High Street, as it appeared between 1880 and 1914. The cobbled lane climbs gently uphill, lined with quaint, whitewashed buildings that seem to lean inwards, as if in conversation with one another. At the heart of the scene, the New Inn stands proudly on the north side of the street. With its black-and-white facade and inviting sign, the pub beckons to weary travelers and locals alike. The New Inn, a beloved public house and gathering place, has a rich history in this picturesque Devonshire fishing village. However, it is important to note that in 1914, the New Inn was rebuilt on the south side of the street, where it remains today. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a time when the village's narrow, winding streets were teeming with life and activity. Clovelly's unique charm and beauty have drawn visitors for generations, and this photograph serves as a testament to the enduring character of this remarkable place. The cobblestones beneath the feet of the people in the image have been trodden by countless others, each leaving their own memories and stories behind. As we look up the hill, we can almost hear the laughter and chatter of days gone by, echoing through the centuries.
