Devonport in 1826.

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Here is a description of Devonport in Plymouth as it was in 1826.

The new public buildings and private dwelling houses which have been lately erected in Devonport are characterized by taste and elegance.

The town-hall in Ker-Street possesses a noble and classical exterior. The front is a Doric Portico with four massive fluted columns, producing, when viewed at a distance, a very fine effect. A flight of stone steps leads to the hall; beneath the halls are the town prisons and watch- house.

Hope you found this interesting!
