Plan of the Intended Coast Road from near St. Austell to Torpoint through Fowey and Looe showing the present circuitous and hilly Road through Liskeard and Lostwithiel Surveyed under the directions of Ja.s M. Rendel Civil Engineer 1834
Hackett, lithog.d, 15, Paris Street, Exeter
Scarce lithographic map with hand-colouring, backed onto linen, printed area approx. 715 x 2150mm (28¼ x 84¾")
Very large map showing the area between Plymouth and St. Austell in Cornwall on the south coast of England, and north as far as Liskeard. The map shows the proposed coastal road between St. Austell and Torpoint (across the river Tamar from Plymouth) and was surveyed under the direction of the renowned civil engineer James Meadow Rendel (1799-1856). Rendel was born near Okehampton in Devon and, after working for Thomas Telford, set up his own practice in Plymouth in 1822. Rendel's bridge across an estuary of the Plym within Plymouth harbour (completed 1827) established him as a leader of contemporary bridge design, and in the 1830s Rendel's reputation was such that he was involved in the improvement and development of practically every river and harbour in south-west England. In 1838 he moved to London and thereafter took on projects in the north of England and Scotland and, in the 1850s, countries including South Africa, India and Brazil.
For a portrait of Rendel see ref. 22531.
