I was so excited to see your guest book. I was born in South Molton in 1951. I lived at 42 West Street. My name was Lynda Ellacott. I now live in the United States and have since 1970. I would be thrilled to hear from anyone that might know me. I so remember those good old days as a child. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit South Molton for a very short time about 12 years ago. I wish I could have stayed longer. Some day I hope to come back for a visit. I miss everyone.(Nice to hear from you Lynda - we will pass on any messages from old friends.)

Larry from Illinois,USA. Enjoyed your website. Both my grandfather and great-grandfather were from South Molton but from I what I gather there were hundreds of Kingdons from that area of England.(Thanks Larry - nice to know we have visitors from all over the world.)

Dear Gordon,
Keep up the good work...you are like a candle in a dark world.From: "worried of Yelland"

62 Date 2008-13-02 Keep up the good work. The political agenda in North Devon is one of corruption, backhanders and jobs for the boys. Our councillors are no better than feudal bully-boy barons in the pay of their overlords, the large business owners of North Devon.The way to deal with them is at the ballot box.Colin Brown (Fremington).(The above e-mail refers to the Council Lies section on the North Devon Link.)

I was a student at this school in 1966 before moving up to the 'Junior School' the following year. My family moved to Australia in 1970. I still have a strong affection for North Devon. Keep up the good work!best wishes,Andrew

Contact details withheld by request.I see that the North Devon District Council is looking for a Head of Recycling. May I put forward South Molton Town Council's councillor Venison? At the same time would it be possible to include councillor Sewell on the selection panel?

The Mulford family, originally from So Molton, emigrated to Salem Ma in 1638. I have family genealogy but am interested in the rationale for having left England at that time... religious, economic, any particular reason for so. moltonians to have left at that time...

I don't know how everyone else feels about South Molton, but I know for a fact that it is no more than a developers paradise. Too many houses are being built with very little jobs and businesses to accomodate the influx of people who will be moving here. What with the closure of Kingdon's Builders Merchants & Kingdon's Home Hardware, and some other small independent businesses, How will the town cope? Where are all the jobs going to come from? What about the local infrastructure? How can the schools cope? South Molton needs more shops and more support from the towns council, not just to a 'select few' but the whole town as such.
I'd welcome a new and bigger supermarket, were gonna need it if we get too big as a town, and why have the council spent all that money on a skate park, yeah great idea!? I'd like to hear what the rest of the town has to say to all this!

This is a very interesting site. I'll post you some pictures of ugly bits of south molton that might interest anyone trying to prompt attention to what could make the town a very attractive place.
