Leamington

Previous - Next

Leamington, Warwickshire, (Sept. 19. to 21.) has increased one half since we last saw it in 1831, both in population and in the extent of ground covered by streets and buildings. There are a number of suburban and town villas, many commonplace, others ambitious and showy, some rich in decoration, and a few elegant and correct. There is a piece of ground containing about 14 acres, which is intended to be laid out as a public garden, and for which we have made a plan. On a few of the villas, of which we took a rapid glance, we shall say a word or two from recollection.
