Britton, J. Devonshire & Cornwall illustrated from original drawings by Thomas Allom, W.H. Bartlett, &c, by J.Britton & E.W.Brayley (London: H.Fisher, R.Fisher & P.Jackson, 1832.) p. 77.DARTMOUTH. [
] Dartmouth, as a town, possesses little to recommend it: the houses are in general mean and irregularly built; but among them are some curious old dwellings, the fronts of which display grotesque carvings in wood, gable-ends, and enriched cornices, as delineated in the annexed Engraving; and a part of the Governor's mansion, which is fitted up in a handsome manner, exhibits a modern adaptation of the ancient architecture just mentioned. The streets are inconveniently narrow; and the lower tiers of houses frequently communicate with those above by flights of steps: from the situation of the ground, it is almost possible to shake hands from without, with a person at the back window of an attic story. On the adjacent heights are several excellent residences.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
