Mogridge, Theodore H. A descriptive sketch of Sidmouth; comprising its ancient and modern history. Sidmouth: J. Harvey, 1836. p. 53. Returning nearly to the entrance of the town, and passing the Lyme road, over the river Sid, by a stone bridge to a turnpike, immediately in front is Mount Pleasant; between the grounds belonging to this house and the river, is a path leading to Salcombe Hill, the mansion of Mrs. Cornish, which, with a few other residences, enrich and adorn the eastern boundaries of Sidmouth; from the grounds of the house, which extend to the sea, a near view of the town is to be obtained, - the little bay in which it is secluded, - many of the indentations of the coast, - the deep ribbed side of the High Peak, &. &. Egypt cottage, occupied by the Rev. J. Dean, is pleasantly perched on the slope of the hill; beneath which is Myrtle Cottage, decorated by the taste of Mrs. Campbell; and on the same level is Woodbine Cottage.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
