Description



BRIXHAM

SX9256SE BRIXHAM HARBOUR, Lower Brixham
1946-1/11/135 Duke of Clarence tablet on New Pier
18/10/49
(Formerly Listed as:
BRIXHAM HARBOUR
Tablet on the New Pier)

GV II

Tablet commemorating the visit to Brixham of the Duke of
Clarence (later William IV) on 21 July 1823. Devonian
limestone in a frame of hollow-moulded red brick, set into
wall at rear of New Pier. The present tablet is a metal plate
installed in the 1970s and bearing what appears to be a
verbatim copy of the original inscription. A small portion of
Devonian limestone visible behind the plate suggests that the
original tablet survives. The 1970s plate gives the date as
1828, but White's 1850 directory has it as 1823.
(White W: Directory of Devonshire: 1850-: 425-6).
