Collection of the Month
The Kennelly Collection
This collection consists of a number of scrapbooks which contain photographs, newspaper cuttings, magazine articles and other bits of information and research about ships and shipping in the West Country.

The Record Office has a display this month titled Cod’n’Ships focusing on the links between North Devon and Newfoundland.
North Devon traded with various ports around the world. Although Barnstaple ceased as a port in the nineteenth century, Bideford still continues to trade, all be it on a smaller scale.
