Morwellham circa 1860
The busiest port on the River at one time, siutated where the larger vessels could reach, and linked to Tavistock by canal as well as the local mines. there were two inclined plane railways to bring ore to the quays. A hive of activity for only a short time. Now a fascinating day out for all the family.
