Burton at Bideford

Artefacts include a large scale model made by Frank Whiting in 1945 of Bideford’s ancient Long Bridge in all its stages from 1280 to 1925.

The Burton also houses Coop's collection of watercolours, oil paintings and Napoleonic ship models.

The Burton at Bideford presents its own local collection as well as important national and international works which ordinarily would not be accessible to the public in the South West.

The Burton at Bideford was reopened in May 1994 following a major programme of refurbishment which included the building of a large extension.

Today the centre has three exhibition spaces which include a permanent gallery displaying North Devon Pottery which opened in 2010,[8] a museum, craft gallery, shop, workshop and lecture area, tourist information desk and a French-style café, The Café du Parc.
