Cooke, G. A. A topographical and statistical description of the county of Devon. London: Sherwood & Co., c.1830. pp.138-9.TEIGNMOUTH, A place of remote antiquity, situated at the mouth of the river Teign, consisting of two parts, which are separated from each other be the small rivulet called the Tame; that on the east side taking the appellation of East, and the other that of West Teignmouth. They form together a fine town, which lies open to the sea, but sheltered at the back from the northerly and easterly gales by a ridge of hills.Teignmouth is remarkable for the landing of the Danes in 970, in their first expedition against England. In the reign of Queen Anne, a great part of the town was burnt by the French; the inhabitants, however, by means of a brief, were soon after enabled to rebuild one of the streets, which they called French-street, in memory of the calamity.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
