Pub in Irsha Street overlooking the Torridge Estuary. The pub's website says that it has been in existence for over 400 years, with possible reasons for the being reference to the beaver pelt hats worn by the Press Gangs enlisting sailors for the navy or to the trade in beaver pelts through Appledore and Bideford. The K6 telephone box is grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1419351.
