This week’s In Port page provides a pictorial reminder of the way Falmouth’s waterfront looked during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

The first picture shows a scene down at the Town Quays in the 1960s long before the “traffic graffiti monster” appeared painting white and yellow lines and mapping out parking bays everywhere.

Second picture: Construction work is underway on Number 2 Dry Dock circa 1948 Third picture: A tranquil scene at North Quay in the early 1950s. Note the dredger working off the Duchy Wharf
