OLD TOWN CONDUIT, PLYMOUTH. 



To the Editor of the South Devon Monthly Museum. 



THE "destruction" of the Conduit, at the head of 

 Old Town Street, has been lamented and cleverly in 

 verse. Now, it may be consoling to observe that, for 

 " destruction" we may read removal and renovation. 

 The front of the building has been identically re-erected 

 in the wall on the east side of the road to North hill, 

 with the addition of two or three hitherto neglected and 

 valuable fragments of the Drake period, and a tablet 

 in compliment to the present Mayor. 



If, as an instrument in this work, I lose any portion 

 of any good man's esteem, let me endeavour in a 

 measure to re-instate myself by graphically restoring 

 the revered building, precisely as it originally stood. 



The annexed view is from an accurate sketch taken 

 about a fortnight before the work of removal com- 

 menced. 



Peace to the remains of Francis Drake !
