Poznámky North Devon Journal Thu 25 Apr 1946. Ilfracombe had a very fair share of holiday makers for Easter, but was not overcrowded. Trains from London and the Midlands brought large numbers. The town welcomed their holiday guests with an abundance of sunshine and open spaces but very little entertainment. The few hotels that were available were soon full. The food situation remained very satisfactory, and there was no shortage of any kind. Chars-a-banc and car proprietors had a very busy opening, and in the opinion of an old resident the town's Victory Season began very well.
