The historic village character of East Budleigh, Devon, is captured in this authentic 1970s colour photograph from 1971. The archival image features the Sir Walter Raleigh pub, a charming cob-and-thatch inn named after the famous explorer who was born in the nearby Hayes Barton. The building’s crisp white facade is adorned with traditional black wrought-iron lanterns and a “Devenish” brewery sign depicting Sir Walter Raleigh. A small chalkboard on the pavement advertises “Morning Coffee” and “Hot Snacks,” while a silver Ford Zephyr is parked along the narrow street in the foreground. The thick, dark thatch of the roof and the small multi-paned windows reflect the quintessential rural architecture of the West Country. This factual record preserves the quiet, traditional atmosphere of this historic Devonshire village during the early 1970s, documenting a landmark that remains a central part of the community’s heritage.
