This is primarily a message for Cowbags, Tigermoth and Wickedwaterwitch on this thread, but if anyone else can help, then do please get in touch.
My name is Nick Gilman and I am currently researching for a forthcoming book on the history and (sometimes colourful) past times of the Hallsands Hotel. I would welcome any anecdotes, recollections or memories, no matter how trivial they may seem, together with any photos or memorabilia from any era.
Please note that I respect personal privacy and will publish nothing without the express permission of the source used. Also, my book project has been featured in several local and regional newspapers and on BBC and local radio - my credibility and integrity can be vouched for if necessary and I would be pleased to arrange this if necessary.
In the first instance, please contact me on [email protected] or 07904 449982 (permanent means of contact). Or 01548 550518 and 8 Ashwood Park, Loddiswell, Kingsbridge, South Devon, TQ7 4RF until 30 April 2007. All messages definitely replied to - I would be happy to tell you more of what I'm doing and what I'm looking for.
Also, if you are in touch with any of the three Mumsnet members mentioned above, do please ask them to contact me.
Many thanks for reading this request.
Nick Gilman
