Butcher Rev. Edmund. The beauties of Sidmouth displayed. Sidmouth: John Wallis, 1820. Third Edition. p. 19.The serpentine Sid, which, in still weather, is as clear as any of its neighbouring brooks, waters the whole eastern side of the valley, and as it approaches the ocean, washes the marly rocks at the east end of the beach. In summer, this stream is so inconsiderable, as to have no visible communication with the sea; but in winter, or in any part of the year, when swollen by the rain it becomes an impetuous torrent.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
