Callow records visiting Teignmouth in the summer of 1842 when he made a tour of the west whilst recuperating from a severe cold. Callow recorded a 'tedious journey by coach, passing through Bristol and Exeter to Plymouth, whence [he] made a short sketching tour to Barmouth, Torquay, Teignmouth, Lyme Regis and Corfe Castle' (
William Callow, An Autobiography, 1908, p. 88).
