Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Monday 10th September 1877

Local Board: The monthly meeting was held at the Town Hall on Friday evening. Mr. L. Bearne presided and the other members present were Messrs. H. Mills, J. Chudleigh, W. Lambshead, W. Badcock, and P. D.

The Surveyor, in a report on the main drainage, stated that during the past four months the work of cleansing that portion of the sewers between the outlet at the Aller river and Mr. Stockman’s mill, and from thence to the junction with the Highweek sewer, in the rear of Mr. Pinsent’s premises, and also from the mill to Union Bridge, had been in progress. The whole of these sewers contained a large amount of deposited matter, the greatest amount of deposit being under the railway and adjacent parts, through the levels there being defective. The deposit was also partly due to the outlet being tide-locked, to the action of the floodwater in the Aller, which, during last winter, was excessive, and to the large quantity of sand and gravel washed into the sewers by storms. To prevent this deposit, he recommended periodical flushing, the providing of sandboxes pits at the bottom and sides of the roads leading from the hills, the reconstruction, in a few years, of a part of the sewers in Mudge’s marsh and Quay Road, and the construction of a new sewer from the railway-bridge in Quay Road through that locality to the Lemon under Hero Bridge. …
