Ivybridge
Ivybridge is a small town and civil parish in the South Hams, in Devon, England. It is located about 9 miles (14.5 kilometres) east of Plymouth. It is at the southern extremity of Dartmoor, a National Park of England and Wales and is located along the A38 'Devon Expressway' road. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11851 people. Cited in records as early as the 13th century, Ivybridge's early history is marked by its status as an essential crossing-point over the River Erme on the Exeter-to-Plymouth route. In the 16th century, mills were constructed making use of the River Erme's power. The parish of Saint John was formed in 1836, with Ivybridge becoming a civil parish in 1894. It emerged as a town in 1977. The early urbanisation and development of Ivybridge predominately accompanied the Industrial Revolution. When the South Devon Railway Company established its train route through Ivybridge in the 19th century, a paper mill was constructed alongside it, which triggered an increase in housing close by. The paper mill closed in the beginning of the 21st century, after being in operation for over 150 years in the town, and the buildings are being converted to homes and shops. The shopping area is mainly along Fore Street, with some small shops and restaurants positioned in the Glanvilles Mill shopping centre which is accessible from Fore Street. The shopping centre includes over 35 shops, which includes both local and nationwide chain stores, along with restaurants and cafés. Though occasionally referred to as a dormitory town, countless people work in the town itself, and agriculture continues to play an economic role for Ivybridge's hinterland. The area neighbouring Ivybridge is practically completely farmland. For all of your home makeovers, make sure to identify reliable specialists in Ivybridge to make certain of quality.
