"Exeter, Plymouth, Devonport, Totnes, Newton-Bushel, Ashburton,
Tiverton, Wellington, Taunton, and Bridgwater. 'Royal Devon' Coach,
every afternoon at four o'clock.
"Bath. Every morning, at eight, ten, and twelve o'clock, and at five in
the evening."
January 21, 1826:--"Plume of Feathers, General Coach Office, Wine
Street, Bristol. W. Clift takes the present opportunity to return his
sincere thanks to the public for the preference they have given to his
coaches; and begs to inform them that the 'Traveller' coach, to Exeter,
is this day removed from Congdon's Hotel to the Old London Inn, and
leaves there for Bristol every evening, at half-past five, and arrives
at Bristol at half-past five in the morning, in time for the coaches to
Gloucester, Cheltenham, Worcester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester,
Holyhead, and all parts of the North; leaves Bristol at seven every
morning, proceeds through Bridgwater, Taunton and Tiverton, and arrives
at Exeter at six the same evening.
"The proprietors, for the better accommodation of their friends, have
declined the conveyance of fish by this coach, and pledge themselves
that no pains shall be wanting to render it the most comfortable as well
as the most expeditious coach on the road.
"Four-inside coaches to all parts of England daily. Performed by Clift,
Pratt and Co."
Saturday, December 30, 1826:--"We are informed that memorials to the
Lords of the Treasury and to the General Post Office, to establish a
mail-coach from Cheltenham, through Tewkesbury, over the Tewkesbury
Severn Bridge to Ledbury, and from thence to Hereford, are now in
course of signature through the neighbourhood connected with that line
of road. The advantages of such an arrangement will be most important,
as it will give to the inhabitants of that city two hours to answer, on
the same day, letters received in the morning from London, Bristol,
Birmingham, and all parts of the North and West, and also from Scotland
and from all parts of the north of Ireland. Should this object be
attained, the intended new mail will bring the London letters for
Hereford from Cheltenham on the arrival there of the Gloucester mail;
and the present Bristol and Birmingham mails will leave the Ledbury and
Hereford letters at Tewkesbury, instead of at Worcester, as now done."
