The Devon and Exeter Hospital.
The Devon and Exeter Hospital. See where you sacred pile its front uprears, / Where pain finds refuge, _ Mis'ry dries her tears; / Where heaven-born Charity its aid bestows.../...No! Devonians glory in those works of love / Which find their recompense in realms above. R.

William Maddocks (1773-1828) a property developer and politician built a sea wall across Traeth Mawr, the Cob, to reclaim a large proportion from the sea for agricultural use. A road was also constructed along the embankment, and formed the line of communication between the counties of Caernarfon and Merioneth. The work was completed in 1811, at an expense of about £60,000. The town of Tremadoc (Tremadog), was built by Maddocks on Penmorfa at his own expense. From "Six Views in the Neighbourhood of Port Madoc, Respectfully dedicated to Mrs. Wm. Alexander Maddocks and Mrs. Gwynne. by their obliged and obedient Servantm C.F. Williams".
