Scope and Content
Cooke, G. A. Topographical and statistical description of the county of Devon. London: Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, c.1818. pp. 39, 80.FISH AND FISHERIESThe rivers of Devonshire abound with fish so much, that besides supplying home consumption, great quantities are taken for the London Market. [
]. The oyster beds at Starcross, Topsham and Lympstone, are extremely productive. [
].The ferry over the Exe may be crossed at all times, except in a hard gale of wind, and carriages are seldom impeded by this more than a few hours. The excursion from Exmouth by water to Lord Courtenay's at Powderham Castle, is a delightful row of about an hour and a half.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
