Description
FALMOUTH
SW83SW GREENBANK 843-1/2/96 Greenbank Quay
GV II
Quay walls. C17. Vertically-set drystone killas rubble with granite copings fastened with iron cramps; some granite ashlar to C19 rebuilt section to southernmost point; 3 flights of dressed granite steps. Tapered peninsular quay with rounded corners; 2 original recessed flights of steps to the inland side, the wall serpentine on plan beside the outer flight; later, probably early/mid C19, flight of steps to the seaward side leading down to a C20 concrete slipway. This is one of the earliest quays in Falmouth and survives virtually complete. This quay and the C17 quays in the town enabled the rapid growth of Falmouth as a port.
