This exhibition highlights the dangers of the North Devon coast, the Graveyard of the Atlantic, to shipping from time immemorial to the present day. This coast is infamous for having at least 10 recorded shipwrecks for every mile. Included in this exhibition will be contemporary photographs of what remains of the SS Collier, MS Johanna, the Green Ranger and others.
Green Gallery's home is Bideford, North Devon, shown in the slideshow on this page. Bideford is a pretty little town on the banks of the River Torridge, three miles from the river mouth at Appledore and from the sea at Westward Ho!. The heart of the town is it's historic 13th century long bridge, with its 24 arches spanning the 670ft width of the Torridge.
The North Devon coast, rocky and treacherous, provides some breathtaking scenery comprising picturesque fishing villages, golden sands and historic river ports. The whole area has protection from development from it's designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), as part of the Exmoor National Park and through its UNESCO Biosphere Reserve centred around the internationally important sand dunes at Braunton Burrows. North Devon has 16 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which represent the best sites for wildlife and geology.
