Torquay, Beacon Terrace 1888

More about this scene
The horizontal distribution of the buildings shows how the houses had to be built in terraces, thanks to the town's hilly location. Torquay's harbour is ever-popular as a tourist and marine resort. A pleasure boat prepares to leave the jetty steps, on the right- hand side of the photograph. The larger steamer passenger service, introduced seven years earlier, generally took about fourteen hours to make the trip to Bournemouth.
