Description
Fish Cross Quays is a quayside structure built around the late 17th century to early 18th century, likely for Francis or Samuel Trefusis. The quays are made of vertically-set, slightly battered dry shale rubble, with some granite ashlar and iron-stapled dressed granite copings. The quays feature a wide rectangular projection to the southwest into the Penryn River, which is linked to walling to the northwest and returns to the north along the waterfront. Francis Trefusis passed away in 1680, and his son Samuel constructed the 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.
