It has a population of just over 2100 people according to the 2001 Census. It is on the River Sid, which runs for four miles into Lyme Bay at Sidmouth. There is a 12th-century packhorse bridge over the river that was the site of a 1644 skirmish in the English Civil War. In the village centre there is a small Spar supermarket, a post office, a pharmacy and a fish and chip shop, Bloaters. There is also a hairdresser, a legal centre, a sports injury clinic, a pub called the Rising Sun and a veterinary surgery. In the late 20th century Sidford was the centre of a furore regarding traffic lights at the westernmost crossroads of the village. The traffic lights are now a fixture. Sidford's most famous pub is the Blue Ball Inn, a 14th-century lodging house that burned to the ground in 2007 and is now rebuilt.〔"( Sidford’s two pubs suffer chimney fires )" Sidmouth Herald. 28 January 2011〕 Sidford is the site of Farmhouse Cottage, a thatched bed-and-breakfast establishment that once housed members of the royal family on a nationwide Grand Tour. ==External links== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sidford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
