Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Building depicted on the Tithe Map at this location; part of the terrace fronting the road on the eastern side of Crest Hill.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century historic map depicts the 'Mechanic's Arms' here on the map.
Ordnance Survey, 1904 - 1906, Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch Map (Cartographic). SDV325644.
The early 20th century historic map shows the building but does not label it as a public house, although it also does not label the Royal Oak or the Waterman's Arms in the vicinity. It seems possible that the Mechanic's Arms may have declined / gone out of business around this time as no further records could be found.
