Scope and Content
Cooke, G. A. Topographical and statistical description of the county of Devon. London: Sherwood & Co., 1830. p. 158. The woollen trade, when formerly carried on here with considerable spirit, threw a large sum of money into the town, and enabled its inhabitants to beautify it with many respectable houses. This trade has of late failed; but lace is made to a considerable extent. Its importations consist of coals from Wales; timber from America; wines from Spain, &. Its exportations comprise corn, oak-bark, leather, and coarse pottery. Malting is performed here to some extent, and there are ship-building yards, which employ many hands. [
] A noble quay stretches along the river-side to a great length, terminated at one end by a handsome piazza; over the centre of which stands the statue of Queen Anne.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
