Turner, Joseph. Picturesque views on the southern coast of England. London: J. & A. Arch, 1826. SIDMOUTHIs a small seaport and market-town on the coast of Devonshire. It is situated at the mouth of a narrow valley, through which the little river Sid flows towards the ocean, where it is lost in the pebbles on the beach. It was once a commodious harbour; but has been so choaked (sic) up with sand and pebbles, that pleasure-boats and fishing-smacks are the only vessels which now venture to approach the shore. Its population and buildings have, however, lately encreased (sic), from its having become a favourite place for sea bathing and summer recreation; for which it now possesses all the necessary conveniences and accommodations to promote its comforts and pleasures. The adjacent country presents delightful prospects, and the scenery on the coast from Sidmouth to Seaton, is considered as the finest on the southern coast of Devonshire.**Maton's Observations, Vol.I.
