- notes
- 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). Listing NGR: SX9271856410
