Tiverton, Devonshire, for which Lord Palmerston sat in the House of Commons, 1865. 'The borough town of Tiverton...is pleasantly situated on the river Exe, about fourteen miles from the city of Exeter. It stands on a rising ground at the confluence of the Exe with a smaller stream called the Loman...The View we have engraved was taken...from the ground at the end of St. Andrew's-street. It shows the new Townhall, not far from the bridge; St. Peter's Church, rising behind. On the left hand is the river Exe, below the bridge, two arches only of which appear; on the farther side of the river is Westexe, with the lace-factory. On the right hand is the railway station - Tiverton being accommodated with a short branch of the Bristol and Exeter line...Lord Palmerston had no property or family connection in the neighbourhood of Tiverton, but all classes of the inhabitants were proud of him as their representative'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
