Yes, she looked well neglected. Apparently there were plans to convert her into a cafe some years ago.

Great capture Bob. Such a shame she is in a state like this. I think she's been there a long time as I remember visiting Bideford in the early 2000s and she was in exactly the same spot.

Thanks for your comment John. Found her by chance, my usual hotel was full so ended up in Bideford :-)

Regards

Lovely to see this old familiar one again Bob, glad you found her. Shame she doesn't appear to be looked after any more though.
Best Regards
John J.
