More at Falmouth Docks
​David Hibberd
David Hibberd has sent in some very interesting pictures taken in the  days of steam at Falmouth Docks.  Especially interesting are those taken on the very last day - a sad occasion.

Many thanks to David for these - you'll find a lot more in our Falmouth Docks section - Davids are towards the end of this section.

Looking from Millbay towards North Road dated 1913 Found by Andy Miller on the internet, there is no copyright Info.
The name of the restaurant 'Sheppards Arch' right by Union Street bridge is interesting, why was it so called?
