Description
The quay walls of the inner harbour in Penryn are likely fragments from the 17th century, with additional construction from the 18th and 19th centuries. The older sections are made of vertically-set dry rubble, while the 19th-century repairs consist of large, roughly-hewn granite blocks. The walls have a slight battering. They are connected to Daniell's Warehouse on the west and Anchor Warehouse on the east.
