The story of one of Britain’s most famous villages, told by a lifelong inhabitant and containing a unique collection of photographs taken in the early part of this century by the author’s father, Paul Ashton Ellis.

Clovelly is now one of the Westcountry’s most popular tourist attractions, but not so long ago it was just a simple fishing village, whose inhabitants knew poverty and hardship. Built as an estate village, and today it is still privately owned by the Clovelly Estate Company, life in this unique village is not without its problems. Sheila Ellis draws on a life times’ memories as well as on her father’s extensive collection of evocative photographs to record the Clovelly of the past.
