Historical Plymouth

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Here is an historic description of Devonport (Plymouth) from the year 1828. Thought you might find this interesting.

The streets are wide and well- built, intersecting each other, with some few exceptions, at right angles. The foot-ways are paved with variegated marble, raised from the quarries in the neighbourhood, and presenting, when washed by a shower, a most beautiful appearance.

Devonport may not have been quite so up-market in recent years but it is currently undergoing a lot of redevelopment - perhaps it's former glory may be restored?
