Mount Edgecumbe Ruins
One hundred years after this photograph was taken my husband and I visited these ruins during a holiday when we celebrated our Silver Wedding. We had came back to the West Country so that we could visit all our old haunts. We met in 1960 and had very little money so our courting had to be very economical! We spent many happy hours at Mount Edgecumbe after getting the Cremyll Ferry from Plymouth. We married in 1965 and left Plymouth the following year, but the ties are strong and we return as often as we can.

RE: RE: Mount Edgecumbe Ruins
Yes Joyce, I know it well having spent numerous school summer camps at Maker Barracks just up the road. These were prior to 1960 .The camps cost my parents one pound for the week! . We frequently visited the ruins during those camps. I also camped alongside them at a scout camp. In those days I lived in Plymouth and have fond memories of the park. Whenever I return for a holiday with my family, it is tradition that we walk from the ferry to Kingsand and Cawsand for a pasty and a beer.
