Looe, From The South 1893

Photo ref: 32361

More about this scene

The narrow sheltered harbour at Looe is seen to good effect from near Hannafore. There are sailing ships and fishing boats alongside the quays at East Looe, with warehouses and a fish cellar in the foreground. This view shows how the town is packed into the level ground between the harbour and steep hillside. The fine bridge across the harbour replaced an older one in 1853, and the tide reaches far beyond.

Boating Lake

I remember the millpool being used as a boating lake and being able to hire rowing boats, canadian style canoes and sailing dinghys. Over the years the council reclaimed more and more of the millpool for use as a carpark and now there is only a fraction of it left and what was a nice big boating lake is now the main carpark for the town.
