Challenge Anneka Ilfracombe Slade Community Centre

1992. The challenge involved moving a dilapidated old library building from its site in the middle of Ilfracombe to be resurrected as a community centre in the Slade Valley, half a mile away. The time set was 51 hours.
Sorry about the sound, had to mute songs due to copyright rules.

This is a blast of nostalgia - my family went on Holiday to Ilfracombe in 1989. Just spotted the crazy golf LOL

[@AlisonBryen]

I loved the crazy golf course in Ilfracombe!

I remember Challenge Anneka. It was like Treasure Hunt but without the helicopter.

[@andrewstrike7240]

I was on holiday there at the time when I was 6 and I even went 2 watch the grand opening of the community centre itself

I can confirm that Annie is as nice in real life as she appears on film.

[@TheVote2010]

Blimey Ilfracombe hasn't changed one bit in all these years!

[@kgordon855]

spent hours in that library as a kid

[@MrSnout5]

The late great Graham Moger, the customer in Jeffries newsagents, when Anneka went in to ask where the old library was.

My Dad worked on that for Sweb.

Now this is bizarre!
I was down to be her Police Officer of the day, as her buggy always broke down
Sadly, a murder occurred in the small hours and I was drafted in for that
Memories flooding back!!!

[@mistofoles]

Maybe not quite such a "challenge" as suggested...much of it was pre-arranged way before they started filming. Do you really think the various companies weren't expecting Anneka to call, and didn't have any equipment ready ?

[@AL_THOMAS]

True. A lot of filming was set up. Most of the film is Anneka with school kids or driving around in her buggy and not much on the actual build by comparison. Pearces got loads of PR out of it!
