Does anybody know where this is? It's a watercolour my grandma had and I've always wondered where it was painted.

The more I look at it, the more I think it's Ilfracombe. St Nicholas Chapel on the left, Pip n Jims church on the right, Hillsborough (the big hill in the background) and the cliffs of N Devon beyond.

This is a picture of the church and it might be a bit artistic licence but it looks different from the one in the painting.

Well done and thanks to 237 and all the others who chipped in with suggestions. Given that it's a little more built-up now than it was when it was painted it's got to be the right location - the stripy slates on the church and the chapel in the background are the best pointers.
