SHALDON AND RINGMORE
Chips Barber
Chips Barber
There may
be two Ringmores in Devon (the other is near Bigbury-on-Sea), but
there’s only one Shaldon. This little book sets out to feature these
two Teign estuary-side settlements, largely through memories, old
writings and picture postcards, like the view below of Shaldon’s beach in about 1900. Inevitably,
Shaldon, with its shops, pubs and many businesses, occupies the lion’s
share of the book. My good friend Mavis Piller spent some of her
childhood here, about three score and ten years ago, and still has a
love affair with the village. She kindly allowed me to dip into her
wonderful collection of old picture postcards of the area. Hopefully,
in conjunction with some of the more modern scenes that I have taken,
they will help to bring the text to life.
