Scope and Content
Dugdale, James. The new British traveller or modern panorama of England and Wales. Vol. 2. London: J. Robins & Co. 1819. p. 181."The trade of Teignmouth," observes Mr. Warner, "consists of some commercial intercourse with Newfoundland; the exportation of clay, and importation of coal; and is carried on chiefly in craft built at the place, where are conveniencies for launching vessels of 400 tons. The clay exported is brought from Bovey, for the most part by a canal; about one-fifth of the whole quantity is dug on the estate of James Templar, Esq. who, with the only true patriotism, is indefatigably employed in promoting the solid interests of his country, by improving agriculture, and encouraging manufactures." West Teignmouth possessed formerly a chartered market, held on a Sunday; but this was discontinued in the reign of Henry the Third. The market is now held on Saturdays. Salmon, salmon-peal, sea-trout, whiting, mackarel, and many other fish, are taken here; and, by some excellent local regulations, the inhabitants can supply themselves before any are sold to the dealers.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
