Why this spot
17th century to 1917 crab-fishing village
Fishing village on a rock ledge below cliffs near Start Point, with 37 houses, the London Inn and 159 people in 1891. Offshore dredging from the 1890s for the Keyham dockyard lowered the protecting beach and storms later wrecked the village.View source →
