Scope and Content
Brindley, Robert. The Plymouth, Stonehouse, and Devonport directory. Devonport: W. Byers, 1830. p. 17.On the eastern end of the Hoe, stands the Citadel, built in the reign of Charles II. "It consists of three regular and two irregular bastions, and the curtains of the regular bastions are further strengthened by two ravelins and horn works; on the east, north, and west sides are a deep ditch, counterscarp, and covered way, pallisadoed. The parapets are mounted with pieces of cannon. The entrance is through two gateways with drawbridges. In the interior is a spacious esplanade round which are the officers' houses, chapel, magazine, hospital, and barracks. [
] The ramparts of the Citadel, which are nearly three quarter of a mile in circuit, afford a very delightful prospect and form a charming promenade."[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
