		BIDEFORD the most attractive town in North Devon, lies on a hillside rising sharply from the W. bank of the Torridge where it begins to widen into its estuary (Plate 21).
		Bideford was, however, entirely over-shadowed by Barnstaple until the late 16th century, and was a place of no more than local importance, chiefly notable for shipbuilding (as Leland tells us) and fishing.
		One after another, however, Bideford's over-seas trades dwindled or collapsed, mostly as a result of the incessant wars of the 18th century, and partly because of the collapse of the woollen industry in the county.

		Bideford must have had its full share of pressgangs, for up until the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars, the system was the terror of the inhabitants of any seafaring place.
		The system was at its worst during the long years of the Napoleonic Wars and it is interesting to note that not until 1835 was the term of compulsory service of the poor wretches secured by the pressgangs, remitted from a lifetime to five years.
		Forty years afterwards, more tobacco was being imported at Bideford than anywhere else, and fifteen years later the town was thriving on the imports of Irish wool, half of which came through Bideford from where it was distributed for combing and spinning in villages over a wide area.
