TO SIDMOUTH WITH LOVE TIMELESS RESORT IS LEFT £1.5MILLION.

SIR JOHN BETJEMAN described it as a town caught still in a timeless charm.

Ever since 1819 when the future Queen Victoria was taken to Sidmouth as a baby on holiday tourists have flocked to Sidmouth Devon beach with majestic red cliffs and regency architecture.One wealthy businessman Keith Owen time spent in Sidmouth made such an impression that he decided to leave his money to the EAST DEVON RESORT he said Sidmouth was the perfect picture of England.

JOHN KEITH OWEN was born in Devon but later became a Canadian resident and hoped to retire back to Sidmouth.

John was an investment banker learnt he was suffering from lung cancer with a few weeks to live decided to leave the town his retirement pension fund plus the proceeds from the sale of several properties saying that the picturesque resort of Sidmouth was just how England used to be.

The capital bequeathed to the towns civic society THE SID VALLEY ASSOCIATION cannot be spent but will provide an income of £60000 a year for community projects. Keith from Ottawa discovered he had cancer on his last visit to Sidmouth 2007 where his mother Eileen lived in 1950.

Mr Owen was born in Totnes Devon and became an RAF Pilot until 1976 to start a new life in Canada.

The windfall the largest in the history of the civic society was directed to be spent on plants trees and bulbs to be planted around the town where Sidmouth attracts in excess of 100000 visitors every year.

Thank you JOHN KEITH OWEN

WALKWAY TO THE CONNAUGHT GARDENS.

Sidmouth's Jewel of the Jurassic Coast.

The Connaught Gardens named after the DUKE OF CONNAUGHT were constructed over seventy years ago and have been under the control of the local council since this period.
The gardens contain a fine range of herbaceous plants which thrive in the temperature climate.The gardens are aslo used for a wide range of cultural activities including music,drama and art,where the bandstand set in green lawn provides a superb enviroment with the nearby Clock Tower Cafe for refreshments.

On the south west edge of the gardens is a cliff overlooking the sea with fine views of the Jurassic Coast and to the west over Torbay and beyond.

Unfortunately,access to the gardens from the Sidmouth town and from Manor Road Car Park neccessitates climbing up hazardous steps and negotiating a busy road.The aim of the walkway is the improve this access safely for the young and old.

Using a small Lottery Grant,the Walkway Group has comissioned consultants to carry out a design study with the co-operation of EAST DEVON DISTRICT COUNCIL and SIDMOUTH TOWN COUNCIL.

We now have to find the necessary finance to pay for the work.

WE NOW NEED YOUR GENEROUS HELP.

The group was founded in 1996 with the objective of promoting the beautification of SIDMOUTH TOWN through the construction of a coastal path and associated walkways.Our first project,the CLIFTON WALKWAY was to link the TOWN ESPLANADE with the WESTERN BEACHES and was sucessfully completed in 1999 - in time and on budget.
WE NOW NEED YOUR GENEROUS HELP to create the CONNAUGHT WALKWAY

The South West is now the third most expensive part of England and Wales to purchase a home.
