Scope and Content
Kendall, A. F. The picture of England and Wales. London: 1831. Devonshire. p. 540, 572.The Harbour is distinguished for its great extent and capacity, and the security which it affords: its various divisions are capable of containing 2000 sail of shipping. Sutton Pool is that part adjoining to the town of Plymouth, and is almost encircled with buildings: [
]The excellence of the Harbour has been already noticed; that part called Sutton Pool, may be considered as private or commercial; it is, except at the entrance, completely surrounded by warehouses, ship-yards, wharfs, &.; and is the resort of the coasting and fishing vessels, by which a very considerable trade is carried on; the principal commodities imported consist of coals, timber, wines, spirits, provisions, and other articles for the consumption of the inhabitants; while the exports are chiefly lime, marble, granite, and metallic and mineral productions.
