I heard today that the Dove in Sidmouth is an ex-Dove, indeed a deceased Dove. It was for a while an Irish theme pub called Finns, before reverting to the Dove, but has been converted into flats so isn't even a pub any more.

There was a time when so many members of the Herga Folk Club went to Sidmouth festival that we had the club AGM in the public bar of the Dove on the Monday.
