Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	South West Archaeology undertook a survey of buildings and gardens in an area of Bideford. 28 Bridgeland Street is reflection of Bideford's wealth and importance as a trading port at a time when trans-Atlantic trade with the Americas was in a dynamic phase of development. The houses of Bridgeland Street, of which number 28 is the largest single component, were built to house the merchants of the town who grew wealthy on the tobacco trade, and locally and regionally they mark the pinnacle of Bideford's development as a port. The buildings of Queen Street also have a place in Bideford's maritime history. It appears that the street, which was formerly known as Little Lane, follows the early shoreline along which the New Quay which was built in the mid-17th century. Those on the west side of the street appear have an earlier, possibly medieval origin, and may themselves have been built on land reclaimed at an earlier date. Number 5 Queen Street seems to represent an attempt at late 18th century aggrandisement in what was probably by that date a very modest back street. The gardens which until the mid-20th century occupied this area were, in 1839, among the 'ancient gardens' of Bideford which were 'by prescription' exempt from tithe. From the description of this area in the document of 1699, it seems that the gardens had been carved out of meadowland, possibly to provide 'allotments' for local residents.
