PLYMPTON

"Plympton is populous, but consists chiefly of 2 clean streets, buildings tolerable, not grand and superb.

Near the West end is the Guildhall, standing on stone pillars, where is kept the Corn-market; which market is on Saturday, and for Shambles meat in winter, kept in the morning before day by candlelight; for about 8 o'clock the butchers make departure for Plymouth market the same day."
