Bideford
Bideford is a historic port town that's on the estuary of the River Torridge in North Devon, located in the southwest of England. The town's name can be translated as 'by the ford', with evidence showing that prior to the construction of a bridge, there was a ford at Bideford where the River Torridge is estuarine. At periods of low tide, it is achievable, although not advisable, to cross the river by walking on foot. Bideford presently is the main town of the Torridge local government district. Referring to the 2011 Census, the town has a population of close to 17,000. Bideford is widely famous for being the location in which the American GIs landed in 1942 during the Second World War. Initially situated there to work in radar stations in North Devon, increasing numbers of troops came over over the war. Bideford is renowned for its New Year's Eve celebrations. This consists of thousands of people from the surrounding towns and villages arriving in fancy dress outfits congregating on the quay for a party and a firework show. The event includes various local musicians. The town has a very long record of local New Year's Eve celebrations. A historical custom from 1605 was for citizens to try to run across the bridge within the time taken for the bells of St. Mary's parish church to chime at midnight. During the same year, the mayor set up a trust fund to raise money to purchase food items for the poor and elderly who applied at the Mayor's Parlour. This still happens and occurs on New Year's Day.
