98 KINGSBRIDGE 



steamer. During the summer months this last, in addition 

 to the regular trips between Kingsbridge and Salcombe, 

 makes frequent excursions to the North and South Sands, 

 near Salcombe; thus affording the inhabitants the benefit 

 of a day's enjoyment at the sea-side, in an easy and in- 

 expensive way. 



Let us cross, by the " Prince of Wales' Road," to Square's 

 Quay. This road runs in front of the house formerly 

 occupied by the late Roger Ilbert Prideaux, and which 

 was then surrounded by a high stone wall, but has been 

 laid open, and it is now separated from the road by a 

 handsome iron railing only. We now come to Quay 

 House, which was erected in 1789, by Lieutenant-Colonel 

 William Elford Ilbert. It stands near one end of the 

 quay, from which it is separated by a low wall. On 

 this side of the Estuary is West Alvington.
