095 | A large and handsome square situated about the centre of the town, the houses are all two storeys. slated and in good repair. "From this spring (Coldwells) an abundant supply of water is conveyed in a large pipe to St James' Square, in the middle of which stands a plain but handsome structure, enclosing a cistern where the water discharges itself. This building, which forms the centre both of the square and of the town, and which is shaded by some very fine lime trees, is an object of considerable local beauty; and most of the wells that are distributed over the west and south quarters of the town, are supplied by pipes that communicate with this reservoir."
