Ancient and Modern on the Waterfront


Looking across the Tamar, from Cremyll, towards the Stonehouse section of Plymouth's Waterfront.

On the left is an upmarket marina development, created on what was once a quayside industrial industrial complex manufacturing agricultural fertiliser. a dusty and sulphurous process. 


Whilst on the right is the former victualling facility for the Royal Navy, built between 1826 and 1835.
Since its closure in the 1900s, major redevelopment has been ongoing.
Within its walls now there is a mix of very expensive apartments, a wide range of restaurants, wine bars, boutiques and galleries. These are to be joined in the next two months by a complex of 32 studios with exhibition space, aimed providing "affordable"  facilities for local artists and craftspeople.


The two developments face each other across the mouth of Stonehouse creek.
