Description
The quay walls in Falmouth date from the 17th century and were significantly altered in 1871, with the foundation stone laid by Lord Wodehouse during the mayoralty of W.H. Lean. The original section features vertically-set drystone killas, while the later projecting pier is made of granite ashlar and includes a flight of granite steps. This quay is possibly the oldest in Falmouth and served as the landing point for the official despatches related to the victory at Trafalgar and Nelson's death in 1805, while under the care of Lieutenant Lapenotiaire of the Royal Navy.
