Culture

Each year, the residents and school children of Ilfracombe celebrate their heritage. These celebrations include six carnivals - a May Day walking celebration (dating from 2000, this is sometimes confused with an earlier tradition suppressed by the church in the 19th century); Ilfracombe Victorian Celebration [2], a week-long programme of events held annually in June to celebrate the time of the town's greatest prosperity; a large street carnival procession during August, organised by the St John's Ambulance service; the Lighting of the Lights held during November; and at Christmas, a Christingle. A farmers' market is held regularly in The Lantern Community Centre on High Street. By the Landmark Theatre there is a small museum, housed in the buildings of the laundry of the former Ilfracombe Hotel. For those of literary intent there is an Ilfracombe authors'/writers' group. The town hosts eight small art galleries, including the exhibitions displayed by the Art Society in the crypt of Emmanual Church on the seafront, the foyer of the Landmark Theatre, The Quay and in "Number Eleven, The Quay" within which there are many Damien Hirst works, including butterflies, pharmacy, small statues and wallpaper designs. Two charitable events are organised each summer by Ilfracombe Round Table[3]. Both make use of Ilfracombe Pier as a display area. The first of these is the annual "South West Birdman" contest which involves entrants seeking to 'fly' from the pier in home-made flying machines and silly costumes. The second event is "Rescue Day", an opportunity for members of the public to learn about the activities of the emergency services. The highlight of the day is a simulated air-sea rescue involving the launch of the Ilfracombe RNLI lifeboat, a Sea King helicopter from RAF 22 Squadron, Exmoor Search and Rescue team and local Fire, Ambulance and HM Coastguard services. Most Monday and Thursday's the local Ilfracombe Sea Cadets meet near the harbour, in what was the old rope making factory on Ropery Rd.

Demography

When the tourism market faltered at the end of the Victorian era hoteliers invited people living in major urban areas to the town with the prospect of seasonal employment. Later, as unemployment levels rose, this 'inward migration' caused social problems and friction between these people and those with a long history of residence. In 2001, Ilfracombe Central Ward was designated the most deprived super output area in Devon.[citation needed] These problems are now being addressed by the implementation of local government schemes e.g. Sure Start now known as Mystart covering the Ilfracombe Learning area - a project to help support families with young children - and, since 2004, the Neighbourhood Management Transform programme: both were the first such government sponsored social development schemes covering rural areas in England. Better policing, the use of neighbourhood wardens and CCTV have led to a reduction in crime rates as reported monthly to the town council by the police toward the North Devon regional average (a fraction of those nationally).[citation needed]

Description

Coordinates: 51°12′29″N 4°07′12″W / 51.208°N 4.120°W / 51.208; -4.120 Ilfracombe (pronounced /'ɪlfrɑːcoʊm/) is a seaside resort and civil parish on the north coast of Devon, England with a small harbour, surrounded by cliffs. The parish, which includes a significant rural area and other villages outside the town of Ilfracombe, stretches along the coast from 'The Coastguard Cottages' in Hele Bay toward the east and 6 km along The Torrs to Lee Bay toward the west. The resort is hilly and the highest point within the parish boundary is at 'Hore Down Gate', 3 km inland and 270 m (860 ft) above sea level. The landmark of Hillsborough Hill dominates the harbour and is the site of an Iron Age Celtic fortress. The award-winning Landmark Theatre is either loved or hated for its unusual double-conical design; it is distinctive and, with the St Nicholas's Chapel on Lantern Hill, a major landmark in the town.

Development

Since 2001 there has been an economic regeneration programme led by the Ilfracombe & District Community Alliance MCTI, a community interest company designed to encourage social entrepreneurship. After community consultation this programme developed a community economic strategy for the next twenty years. The South West of England Regional Development Agency is working with the Alliance and North Devon District Council formulating plans for the town's economic and physical structures. Proposed developments are: the enhancement of the harbour area[citation needed]; the implementation of regular all year foot passenger ferry service to the Mumbles near Swansea which is only 21 miles away across the Bristol Channel;[9] the re-development of the derelict bus station site based on plans developed by Terence O'Rourke;[10] and the creation of better youth support and recreation facilities at the Larkstone Brimland area on the eastern side of the harbour area[citation needed]. The town council - working with GOSW, SWRDA and NDDC, supported by the Alliance and Transform - has developed the council offices into a community training resource in the town centre: 'The Ilfracombe Centre'.[11] In 2006, major leisure industry developments by John Fowler, a local holiday camp operator, are expected to help shift the local economy back to tourism. This combined with investment by patrons such as Damien Hirst (who with his partner Mia recently funded a restaurant owned by Simon Brown, No 11 The Quay, on Harbour Quay Road, is developing a boutique guest house on the Torrs, as well owning other properties within the town) and the introduction of high quality accommodation should make Ilfracombe a more attractive destination for food lovers and tourists.

Economy

Until the mid-19th century the economy was based around the sea - trade mostly importing lime and coal from Wales and herring fishing. The town gradually developed into a tourist resort served by ferries along the Bristol Channel. The provision of the railway accelerated this development. The population grew until the First World War, then stabilised at 9,200, now 11,000. The economy suffered throughout the 1960s as UK holiday patterns changed, and suffered further through the closure of the railway line in 1970. In the last twenty-five years, major investment by private 'light engineering' companies has added to the economy. These companies include: Pall Europe - a filtration manufacturers with 700 employees on site[citation needed]; a Tesco superstore; and TDK-Lambda UK Ltd. - a manufacturer of industrial & medical power supplies a subsidiary of the TDK Corporation. The Ilfracombe site is European HQ of TDK-Lambda EMEA with almost 300 employees.[5] A large Co-Operative supermarket store sited on the sea front opened December 2006. A number of light engineering firms provide additional employment and operate within a couple of miles of the town centre at Mullacott Cross. Employment Research conducted by MORI in 2005 for the Transform (UK government neighbourhood management project), and by Roger Tym & Partners for the Ilfracombe Community Alliance showed :-The service sector (includes hotel and catering) at 76% is 2 x higher than the North Devon (40.1%) or Devon average (33.7%). 51% of businesses by number are within the distribution, hotels and restaurants sector.12.8% are within the banking, finance and insurance sector.11.9% are within public administration, health and education. [6] Despite the arrival of supermarket stores by large retailers such as Tesco and the Co-operative Retail Society, the High Street still thrives. The usual national chains like Lloyds Chemist, Somerfield Stores and Superdrug are present, but Ilfracombe has fortunately retained many local businesses, maintaining its traditional Victorian character.

Education

The town's educational needs are served by three schools: the Infants, the Junior and the Comprehensive school - Ilfracombe Arts College. Each of these schools are amongst the largest of their type in Devon. The college serves the needs of Ilfracombe residents and those across the coastal North Devon area as far as Lynton and Lynmouth on the Somerset county border. It is a nationally recognised centre for Media Studies and was in 2004 awarded Media Arts Status. Further educational courses and vocational courses are run by Ilfracombe Arts College. Ilfracombe Museum was opened in 1932 in Ilfracombe Hotel's Victorian laundry and contains attractions from around the world including pickled bats and the two-headed kitten.[7] It also contains items and photographs of local railway interest including one of the concrete name boards from the now closed Ilfracombe railway station, which can be seen on the front wall of the museum; and a collection of pieces of victorian wedding cakes. Ilfracombe also has a library located on the Residential Candar Retirement Development.[8]

Geography

Ilfracombe overlies slates formed from sedimentary rock that underwent geological stress (creating faults and folds), towards the end of the Carboniferous era, around 300 million years ago. These are known as the Ilfracombe slates. Ilfracombe lies within the North Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is renowned for its dramatic coastal cliffs and landscape. Hillsborough, lying close to the town centre is a local nature reserve and around the town are many other havens for wildlife. The coast itself is part of the North Devon Voluntary Marine Conservation area because of its diverse and rare species.

Governance

The town lies within the Parliamentary constituency of North Devon, and the European Region of South West England. The three councils which govern activities in the town are Devon County Council, North Devon District Council, and Ilfracombe Town Council. The councils cover different areas of responsibility: * Roads, Education, Economic Affairs, Youth Services and Social Services are covered by Devon County Council based in County Hall, Exeter to which Ilfracombe sends one elected member. * Housing, Refuse Collection, Street Cleaning, Parks & Gardens, Harbour, Leisure & Culture, Licensing and Planning are covered by North Devon District Council, Barnstaple to which Ilfracombe elects five members (two each from West and Central Wards and one from East Ward) * The Town Council, which has 3 wards and 18 members (7 from West and Central Wards and 4 from the East Ward) acts as the watchdog to the other two councils whilst also developing local initiatives owning and managing the Ilfracombe Centre and supporting many community associations and activities. North Devon District Council have area offices in the Ilfracombe centre on the High Street. As with most communities with high-density housing, the largest issue is car parking and the lack of spaces. The problem of inconsiderate dog owners is another concern, for which the council has to mount advertising campaigns to remind owners of their responsibilities. A third issue is the growth in the seagull population. The town council is to erect more signs warning visitors not to feed them. Ilfracombe is twinned with: * Herxheim, Germany * Ifs, France

History

Ilfracombe has been settled since the Iron Age, when the Dumnonii Celts established a hill fort on the dominant hill, Hillsborough (formerly Hele's Barrow). The town's name is a derivative of the Anglo-Saxon Alfreinscoma - by which name it was noted in the Exon or Exeter Domesday Book of 1086. The translation of this name (from Walter William Skeat of the department of Anglo Saxon at Cambridge University) means the "Valley of the sons of Alfred". The manor house at Chambercombe in east Ilfracombe, was recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as being built by a Norman knight Champernon (from Chambernon in France) who landed with William of Normandy. It is also said to be haunted.[2] Ilfracombe was two distinct communities; a farming community around the parish church called Holy Trinity, parts of which date from the 12th century, and a fishing community around the natural harbour formed between Capstone, Compass and Lantern Torrs. It is recorded that the lands by the church were part of the estate owned by Champernowne family those by the harbour to the Bouchiers, Earls of Bath. Ilfracombe was a significant port on the Bristol Channel. The main reasoning behind this is because of the natural layout of the harbour, which provides a safe port on a stormy Bristol Channel. It also had trade routes between Kinsale and Tenby, which made the port stronger. In 1208 it was listed as having provided King John with ships and men to invade Ireland; in 1247 it supplied a ship to the fleet that was sent to conquer the Western Isles of Scotland; ships were sent to support the siege of Calais, and it was the disembarkation point for two large forces sent to subdue the Irish. The building which sits on Lantern Hill by the harbour, known as St Nicholas's Chapel (built 1361) is reputed to be the oldest working lighthouse in the UK; a light/beacon has been there for over 650 years.[3] There was a wooden fortress overlooking the harbour, of this nothing remains except contemporary records and the area designated Castle Hill off Portland St/Montepellier terrace. The novelist Fanny Burney stayed in Ilfracombe in 1817. Her diary [4] entries (July 31 - October 5) record early 19th century life in Ilfracombe: a captured Spanish ship; two ships in distress in a storm; the visit of Thomas Bowdler; and her lucky escape after being cut-off by the tide. A few years later in the 1820s a set of four tunnels were hand carved to permit access to the beaches that had previously been only accessible either by climbing the cliffs or rounding the point by boat, swimming or at the lowest tides clambering around the rocks of the point. These led to a pair of tidal pools, which in accordance with Victorian morals, were used for segregated male and female bathing. These are still viewable and are signposted as Tunnels Beaches. The song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, was written by Jane Taylor whilst staying in Braunton, only a few miles away, during the early 19th century at The George Hotel.[citation needed] In 1911, the Irish nationalist Anna Catherine Parnell (sister of Charles Stewart Parnell) drowned at Ilfracombe. The actor Peter Sellers first set foot on stage here, and the Collins sisters (Joan and Jackie) went to school in the town whilst evacuees from The Blitz.

Music

The Aerial Studio, situated near Mullacott on the approach toward Ilfracombe, provides recording facilities and practice rooms for local musicians. The marching band Blazing Sounds (one of several in the town), came third at the year 2000 World Marching Band Championships in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and 2nd the following year in Germany.

Other

During the early 1990s, the team of the popular English reality TV show Challenge Anneka relocated the redundant old wooden library from the Hermitage site, to 'Burnside' in the heart of the Slade Valley estate for use as a community owned centre.

Performing arts

Studio Theatre is a community theatre group, established in 1984, which stages a wide variety of classic, musical, comedy and variety theatrical productions throughout the year at venues in Ilfracombe, including The Landmark Theatre, and throughout North Devon. Studio Theatre will be staging its 100th production, The Heiress, in May 2008. Through the 1990s, the town was also host to the now defunct National Youth Arts Festival.

Religious sites

There are churches in the town serving denominations of the Christian faith. The main Anglican church is the parish church 'Holy Trinity' which is the mother church to St Peter's on Highfield Road. Several other churches identify themselves as Evangelical but differ in denominational background, these include: St Philip and St James Church (known locally as 'Pip & Jims') whose background is Anglican; two Free churches - Brookdale Evangelical Churchand Ilfracombe Christian Fellowship Church, of which the latter is the more charismatic; and Ilfracombe Baptist Church of the Baptist tradition. There is also a Roman Catholic church, 'Our Lady Star of the Sea Church', (in Runnacleave Road), the Methodist/United Reformed Emmanuel Church (on Wilder Road) and a Salvation Army Corps (church) (on Torrs Park, by Bath Place). Other faiths are represented by a Jehovah's Witness meeting place (in Victoria Road) and a Spiritualist meeting house on Greenclose Road .

Jonathan Edwards the World and Olympic Champion triple jump athlete lived in the town whilst his father was the vicar of St Philip & St James Church. He is commemorated in a mosaic on the seafront near the Landmark Theatre, which demonstrates the length of his record-breaking jump. Jason Twist, twice World Champion at 8-ball pool still lives in the town. Despite the hilly terrain, Ilfracombe is at the northern end of National Cycle Network route 27, known as the Devon Coast to Coast Cycle Route, which starts from the pier (clock-in station at the Pier Tavern) and ends in Plymouth. There is another coastal trail suitable for cycling which starts at the pier which heads eastwards towards Minehead (defined as 'arduous'). The South West Coast Path connecting Minehead (Somerset) to Dorset, via Land's End, passes through the town from Hele Bay to Lee Bay via Ilfracombe Harbour.

The history of Ilfracombe's fires

Partly as a consequence of the crowded building development during the Victorian age, the face of the town has been changed in recent years by several major fires. Two of the largest blazes were towards the eastern end of the High Street, firstly when the south side of Portland Street was razed, and again in the 1980s when the Candar Hotel and Arcade burnt down. The Portland Street site was later used for a road widening scheme, while the Candar Arcade site became the Candar sheltered residential apartments (the opening of Candar apartments were the last public engagement performed by Charles and Diana, the Duke and Duchess of Wales). Other major conflagrations include the former Mount, Castle, Cliffe Hydro,Arcade and the Montebello Hotels as well as a sizeable part of the Grade 2* listed Hillsborough Terrace in all these only one life was reported as lost, that in the Arcade. Shortly before 19:00 BST on Wednesday, August 8th 2006, a fire broke out at the derelict Montebello Hotel in Fore Street, Ilfracombe. Twenty fire engines were required to put out the blaze including a number rushed to the scene from Woolacombe, Barnstaple and the bordering county of Somerset. Specialist equipment was brought in from as far afield as Exeter, and according to the local radio news 85 firemen were involved at the fire. The fire spread to three neighbouring properties and showered debris over a wide area. The six-storey hotel was completely gutted, with only the front wall, chimney stacks and remains of the lift shaft frame surviving the blaze, and the fire was still being damped-down the following day. Fore Street was closed for some period due to the difficulties of demolition.[12] The building was eventually demolished when it was determined that the fire had left it structurally unsound. This caused additional headaches for the emergency services as curious members of the public ignored safety barriers in an attempt to see the remains more clearly.[13] The site is to be redeveloped as residential accommodation. On the evening of 3rd April 2008 the Blazing Sounds band hut in the grounds of Ilfracombe College was gutted in a blaze.[14] The wooden structure was destroyed, along with many instruments, music and trophies. This was attributed to arson at the time, but the culprit(s) were never caught.
