Description
Ferry Quay and the walling along the waterfront to the north and south date from the 17th to 18th century and were likely built for Francis or Samuel Trefusis. The quay features vertically-set, slightly battered dry shale walling with iron-stapled dressed granite copings and dressed granite steps. It is a rectangular quay that projects westward into the Penryn River, with adjoining walling to the north and south. There are flights of granite steps within recesses at intervals along the quay. Francis Trefusis died in 1680, and his son Samuel constructed quays at Flushing; both were elected as Members of Parliament for Penryn. It is believed that Dutch engineers may have been involved in the construction of these earlier quays.
