Here are a few old photos of Instow.
We hope that they are of interest to both residents of the village and visitors.


They may bring back a few memories and show the subtle changes that have taken place in the village.


If you have any photographs which may be of interest to others and that you would like to show here please email me and I'll get in touch.

INSTOW PHOTO ARCHIVE

Photo from Charlie Harper showing him and his father (who was then head chef at the Marine Hotel) with a monk fish found in a pool on the beach in the summer of 1962. Its vital statistics were: length 4 ft 4 inches, head 22 inches across.

Image supplied by David Chilvers - from his late mother's collection showing Mr Balman haymaking above Instow - probably mid 1930's. Click to enlarge
