Description
New Quay is a quay located in Flushing, built around the early 18th century, likely for Samuel Trefusis. It features vertically-set, slightly battered dry shale walling with dressed granite copings that are secured with iron staples. The quay is roughly rectangular in shape and projects westwards, with a parapet wall along the southern seaward side. Samuel Trefusis and his father, Francis, who died in 1680, were responsible for constructing quays at Flushing and both served as Members of Parliament for Penryn. It is believed that Dutch engineers may have been involved in the construction of earlier quays of this type. This quay, being the southernmost in Flushing, provides protection to the entire waterfront.
