More about this scene
In 1860, intending to make Ilfracombe the `Brighton of the West`, a group of businessmen founded the Ilfracombe Joint Stock Land and Investment Company and commenced the building of villas at Torrs Park. Several of these villas later became schools: Ilfracombe College, the Convent of the Immaculate Conception, and Hereford House School, all of which flourished around the turn of the century.
