Berkley
Berkley, on the right bank of the Taunton River, opposite Dighton, has a very similar clam territory both in extent and characteristics. But little use is made of the clam except for bait, as the river water renders them very unsatisfactory as food.
There is practically no industry, and there never could be any of importance, owing to the very limited area and the contamination of the waters.
