Clovelly Lifeboat Station, Lifeboat station in Clovelly, England
The Clovelly Lifeboat Station stands at the base of steep cliffs along the North Devon coast, featuring a traditional architecture with a modern boathouse and slipway.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution established this station in 1870 following multiple maritime accidents, with an initial construction cost of 175 pounds sterling.
Thomas Pengilly, who served as coxswain from 1908, became a local legend by rescuing 158 people during his 54-year career at the station.
The station operates a B-class inshore lifeboat named Toby Rundle, providing emergency services along the North Devon coastline between Padstow and Bideford.
Lauren McGuire, the great-great-granddaughter of Thomas Pengilly, made history in 2011 by becoming Britain's youngest lifeboat station manager at age 27.
