Falmouth existing interpretation and wayfinding
5
Interpretation & Wayfinding rational
Wayfinding which reinforces the story, interpretation panels which orientate...
Interpretation
Falmouth has a large number of places and buildings marked with memorials, but little in the way of direct interpretation. Whilst many themes will be handled by the hubs and ‘embedded’ elements traditional panels will be useful – particularly at complex vista points such as the Quays.
Welcome Hubs
Three welcome points, each showcasing a distinct element of Falmouth, each forming a rich wayfinding target from, and between which, themed trails present visitors with reasons to explore and to return. The three hubs share common tourist/ visitor information giving an overall introduction to Falmouth and it’s wayfinding and interpretation, as well as information specific to the particular hub area. Falmouth’s lively event’s calendar will also be promoted at all hubs.
Wayfinding
Directional signage referencing the hubs and their themes to reinforce the depth and variety, whilst aiding the mental mapping process and giving the confidence to explore.
Embedded & Landscape
‘Did you knows?’, paintings, then & now photos, direct quotes, footprint waymarkers, painted buildings, toposcopes.

As you walk up the hill, you’ll find the Greenbank Gardens, which opened in 1914. Before the gardens, the area was home to a number of small workshops belonging to Falmouth’s leading builder, William Olver, who built St Anthony’s Light House in 1834. Find out more about the lighthouse at Pendennis Point or the Maritime Museum. G
So that the information in the Packet letters wouldn’t fall into enemy hands, the mail was carried in leather sacks with weights inside so they could be sunk if the boat was captured. Similarly, more then one copy of a letter was often sent on different ships to ensure its safe delivery.

Land travel across France had become too dangerous, but small, fast boats could carry the mail by sea and bypass France altogether. Falmouth, with its safe and sheltered harbour, and its distance from French shores and Privateers, was the ideal location. For over 160 years between 1689 and 1850, the Packet Service ran from Falmouth, and the town was second only to ra n hst Fi s y a Qu

From tiny hamlet to bustling port In the early 1600s, there was little in the spot where Falmouth lies today other than Pendennis Castle, Arwenack Manor House, and a small hamlet known as Smithwick or Smithick. The hamlet would later become known as Penny-come-quick (Peny-cwm-cuic) which means "the head of the narrow vale" and eventually grow to become the town of Falmouth.

Whilst staying with Sir John Killigrew at Arwenack Manor in 1598, Sir Walter Raleigh pointed out that Falmouth’s geographical features would make it the ideal location for a port. And so a few years later in 1613, Sir John Killigrew founded the town of Falmouth. Despite objections from Penryn and Truro, King Charles II granted Falmouth a Town Charter, giving the inhabitants town privileges, such as allowing a market and the establishment of guilds.

THE MUSEUM TO HAVE FUN IN! Celebrating the sea, boats and Cornwall, this multi award winning museum has 15 galleries, over five floors beautifully illustrating the past, present and future of this island nation and offers a number of stunning exhibitions.
The pier was built in 1904 as an extension to the existing masonry wharf of Falmouth’s burgeoning port and docks. It was named after the Prince of Wales (who later became King George V) after he laid the foundation stone on 20 July 1903.
The “Greatest Raid of All”
1
Behind you lies the memorial to the raid on the French port of St Nazaire on 26 March 1942. The German occupied port was the largest on the Atlantic coast at the time and served as the strategic hub for the German U-Boat campaign, which was threatening British shipping lanes and the national supply of food and arms. In a daring raid codenamed Operation Chariot, the explosive laden HMS Campbeltown was used to destroy the huge outer gates of the docks and putting the port out of commission for the rest of the war
In 2008, the Pier was visited again by the Prince of Wales, this time Prince Charles, and the Duchess of Cornwall to rededicate the St Nazaire raid memorial stone.
In return, Falmouth built the ‘King Charles the Martyr’ church in honour of Charles II’s father and within a few years, the town had grown to a few hundred s] [5 min Conti houses clustered around the the Greenbank nue the s tory of Falmouth’s waterfront at

More than 600 men sailed from Falmouth, just 228 men returned. 169 lost their lives, and a further 215, mostly injured, were captured by the Germans. Five Victoria Crosses were awarded on the raid, the largest ever for any single Action
As you walk up the hill, you’ll find the Greenbank Gardens, which opened in 1914. Before the gardens, the area was home to a number of small workshops belonging to Falmouth’s leading builder, William Olver, who built St Anthony’s Light House in 1834.

Welcome to Forte IV
During the Second World War, the Royal Navy took over Falmouth, making the whole town a Naval Base named HMS Forte. There were four main locations around the town, Membley Hall Hotel, The Imperial Hotel by the docks and the Trago Mills building as Forte I, II, and III and the coastline here as Forte IV. Where you’re standing now was once part of the sea, which went right up to the Killigrew Monument about xx metres further back. For many years the area formed part of the coastal defences. In 1892, the Royal Engineers built a giant iron walkway called the Submarine Pier and during the Second World War the Americans built the slipway at Grove Place Boat Park next to here for landing craft to load troops and heavy transport.
The town has been lucky enough to host four Tall Ships races, 1966, 1982, 1998 and most recently the Funchal 500 in 2008.
In 2002 the area was transformed into what you see today – A cultural heart for Falmouth, with a museum dedicated to documenting and celebrating the huge impact the sea has on the people that use it.

From tiny hamlet to bustling port In the early 1600s, there was little in the spot where Falmouth lies today other than Pendennis Castle, Arwenack Manor House, and a small hamlet known as Smithwick or Smithick. The hamlet would later become known as Penny-come-quick (Peny-cwm-cuic) which means "the head of the narrow vale" and eventually grow to become the town of Falmouth.

Whilst staying with Sir John Killigrew at Arwenack Manor in 1598, Sir Walter Raleigh pointed out that Falmouth’s geographical features would make it the ideal location for a port. And so a few years later in 1613, Sir John Killigrew founded the town of Falmouth. Despite objections from Penryn and Truro, King Charles II granted Falmouth a Town Charter, giving the inhabitants town privileges, such as allowing a market and the establishment of guilds.

Behind you lies the memorial to the raid on the French port of St Nazaire on 26 March 1942. The German occupied port was the largest on the Atlantic coast at the time and served as the strategic hub for the German U-Boat campaign, which was threatening British shipping lanes and the national supply of food and arms. In a daring raid codenamed Operation Chariot, the explosive laden HMS Campbeltown was used to destroy the huge outer gates of the docks and putting the port out of commission for the rest of the war
In 2008, the Pier was visited again by the Prince of Wales, this time Prince Charles, and the Duchess of Cornwall to rededicate the St Nazaire raid memorial stone.

During the Second World War, the Royal Navy took over Falmouth, making the whole town a Naval Base named HMS Forte. There were four main locations around the town, Membley Hall Hotel, The Imperial Hotel by the docks and the Trago Mills building as Forte I, II, and III and the coastline here as Forte IV. Where you’re standing now was once part of the sea, which went right up to the Killigrew Monument about xx metres further back. For many years the area formed part of the coastal defences. In 1892, the Royal Engineers built a giant iron walkway called the Submarine Pier and during the Second World War the Americans built the slipway at Grove Place Boat Park next to here for landing craft to load troops and heavy transport.

From tiny hamlet to bustling port In the early 1600s, there was little in the spot where Falmouth lies today other than Pendennis Castle, Arwenack Manor House, and a small hamlet known as Smithwick or Smithick. The hamlet would later become known as Penny-come-quick (Peny-cwm-cuic) which means "the head of the narrow vale" and eventually grow to become the town of Falmouth.

Whilst staying with Sir John Killigrew at Arwenack Manor in 1598, Sir Walter Raleigh pointed out that Falmouth’s geographical features would make it the ideal location for a port. And so a few years later in 1613, Sir John Killigrew founded the town of Falmouth. Despite objections from Penryn and Truro, King Charles II granted Falmouth a Town Charter, giving the inhabitants town privileges, such as allowing a market and the establishment of guilds.

Behind you lies the memorial to the raid on the French port of St Nazaire on 26 March 1942. The German occupied port was the largest on the Atlantic coast at the time and served as the strategic hub for the German U-Boat campaign, which was threatening British shipping lanes and the national supply of food and arms. In a daring raid codenamed Operation Chariot, the explosive laden HMS Campbeltown was used to destroy the huge outer gates of the docks and putting the port out of commission for the rest of the war
In 2008, the Pier was visited again by the Prince of Wales, this time Prince Charles, and the Duchess of Cornwall to rededicate the St Nazaire raid memorial stone.

THE MUSEUM TO HAVE FUN IN!
The pier was built in 1904 as an extension to the existing masonry wharf of Falmouth’s burgeoning port and docks. It was named after the Prince of Wales (who later became King George V) after he laid the foundation stone on 20 July 1903.
In return, Falmouth built the ‘King Charles the Martyr’ church in honour of Charles II’s father and within a few years, the town had grown to a few hundred s] [5 min Conti houses clustered around the the Greenbank nue the s tory of Falmouth’s waterfront at

Interpretation & Wayfinding rational We see a family of street furniture, signs, information panels, discrete pieces of applied typography, wall painting, landscaping and art installation, etc, all of which link to themes and stories presenting a number of key themes.
“Falmouth BID does not see a single information point or centre to be the future. There needs to be a multitude of options for the future visitor to engage, interpret, understand, explore, be informed and inspired about Falmouth.
Some of the stories link as trails covering an extended timeline [the FHC path from Greenbank to Pendennis Point], others a single event [the last cannibalism trial], some are a single ‘did you know’ moment [lost opes, Emidy, Jacobs Ladder...].
Success in this area will raise visitor satisfaction, extend their length of visit and encourage regular return visits. To go home, knowing that they have not seen everything will undoubtedly prompt a return visit.”
We suggest each ‘welcome’ hub, and a Pendennis Point focal point should have a distinct theme and character [eg, The Moor : Community, Discovery Quay : Historic Waterfront], supported by a family of focal points, view points and waymarkers.

Packet Walkway Trail 1 of 2 Falmouth has a marvellous heritage and one of the best ways to see and learn about it is by using the Packet Walkway Guide. You follow a trail of attractive plaques that take you to key vantage points in the town, and with the aid of the maps and the accompanying text you can open up the past. The new updated guide follows a similar format to the original guide celebrating the 300th anniversary of the first sailing of the famous Packet Ships from Falmouth. The trail of commemorative plaques was laid through the town to provide glimpses of the port’s history. Packet Newspapers, the publishers of the Falmouth Packet, the town’s oldestablished weekly newspaper, named after the Packet Ship service which transported the country’s overseas mail from Falmouth for a century and a half, sponsored the trail when it was first opened in 1988. The trail was laid with the help of Falmouth Town Council and the County Highways Department, and this latest edition of the guide to the trail incorporates various changes that have taken place including renumbering. The Packet Walkway • 1. THE GREENBANK HOTEL, famous for its association with the Falmouth Packet Service and with Kenneth Grahame’s well known book Wind in the Willows,’ stands inland of its quay used for many years as a terminus for the rowing boat to Flushing - the village across the water - operated by a number of “old salts” up until the 1940’s. GREENBANK or DUNSTANVILLE TERRACE consists of an impressive row of large houses, many of them originally built by Packet Captains, which look out over the stretch of water, known then as the “King’s Road,” where brigantines used to lay at anchor awaiting the arrival of the mails from London. GREENBANK GARDENS, opened in 1914, was formerly as area of small workshops belonging to William Olver, Falmouth’s leading builder up until the middle of the Nineteenth Century, who was responsible for much of the Terrace opposite as well as ST ANTHONY LIGHT-HOUSE, constructed at the harbour entrance in 1834. THE ROYAL CORNWALL YACHT CLUB occupying the waterside building next to the Gardens, was founded in 1874 and is the most prestigious of five such organisations around Falmouth’s magnificent harbour, the others being at Flushing, Mylor, Restronguet and St Mawes. On the seaward side at the southern end of the Terrace is the site of the old FALMOUTH PRISON and, almost at the crest of the hill, the site of the former WINCHESTER BUILDINGS named after their original occupant, Admiral Winchester.
• 2. Near the top of the High Street, once known as LUDGATE HILL, stands THE OLD TOWN HALL originally a Congregational Chapel - which was presented to the Town by Martin Lister Killigrew in 1725. It was also used as the Court House and, as such, was the scene of a famous trial in 1884 when two sailors were acquitted on a charge of cannibalism, having eaten the cabin boy while adrift in the Atlantic after their ship had sunk. BARRACKS’S OPE, through which the famous clipper Cutty Sark was framed when she lay at anchor in the harbour as a Training Ship between 1923 and 1938, is one of the few remaining routes down to the waterfront, where in days gone by, Falmouth’s entire livelihood was based. In 1862 many houses and shops in mid-High Street were destroyed on both sides of the road - the route by which the mail coaches arrived in the Town - in a serious fire, which had been framed by a strong easterly wind. Some time afterwards the buildings were reconstructed to make the street ten feet wider than it was before the fire. • 3. The building housing the Town’s MUNICIPAL OFFICES and LIBRARY was erected in 1894 with funds donated jointly by the Cornish philanthropist J. Passmore Edwards and Octavious Allen Ferris, both of whom were responsible for similar charitable gifts to other Cornish towns and villages. The Town’s ART GALLERY is also housed there. • 4. The POST OFFICE, opened in 1930, stands on the site of the old MARKET, which was moved in 1812 from its first location on the Strand. The roofed fountain now standing in the middle of The Moor once stood inside this market. THE MOOR stands at the lower end of the valley whose stream originally flowed into Smithick Creek, around which the small village of SMITHICK stood in the early Seventeenth Century. Although now piped under ground, water from the stream operated a water mill here in Falmouth’s early days and later supplied breweries which used to stand where Tesco’s supermarket is now situated. The Moor became the Town’s Market Place, a pleasant open space contrasting markedly with the present congestion. Recently been transformed into an events square. • 5. THE PACKET MEMORIAL dates from November 1898, when a Public Subscription raised nearly £300 for a permanent reminder of the Service which operated from Falmouth between 1688 and 1850, according to its inscription. • 6. JACOB’S LADDER (its date uncertain) has no real biblical association. Its one hundred and eleven steps were installed by Jacob Hamblen, builder, tallow chandler and property owner, to facilitate access between his business - at the bottom - and some of his property - at the top.
The METHODIST CHURCH first stood on this site in 1791 as a Wesley Chapel, but was completely rebuilt in 1876 to look much as it does today. After being bombed twice in World War Two it was reconstructed as the Central Methodist Church in 1956 with a three-storey interior. • 7. The building opposite the Methodist Church was erected in 1864 on the site of the former Allen’s Brewery. This became the new TOWN HALL, which had formerly been located at the top of High Street. At a later date, all Borough administration moved to the Municipal Offices and the building became the Town’s Magistrate’s Court. • 8. High Street passes imperceptibly into MARKET STRAND where the Town’s first Market House the PRINCE OF WALES’ PIER, named when the Prince - who later became King George V - laid its foundation stone in 1903. It was at this Pier that the few survivors of the successful raid on the dock at St Nazaire returned to the port, five days after the small flotilla had left Falmouth in March, 1942. In MARKET STRAND an insignificant set of steps on the north side is the sole indication of the earliest road to the southern end of the waterfront where ARWENACK HOUSE, home of the Killigrew family - the Town’s founder - once stood. • 9. A narrow alley leads up to BELL’S COURT, once the site of the Packet Agent’s Office. It was from the steps of this office in 1810 that Christopher Saverland read the Riot Act to Packet crews who had mutinied when Customs Officers confiscated the private goods of the crew members which were intended for sale overseas and regarded as legitimate “perks.” The entire main street has changed out of all recognition over the past fifty years. For example, Woolworths and its neighbouring shops now stand on the site of the former FOUNTAIN INN and BAPTIST CHAPEL. On the opposite side of the street, in January 1870, a disastrous fire destroyed many homes and shops. • 10. Number 27 Market Street was once occupied by the OLD CURIOSITY SHOP owned by John Burton, an eccentric whose collection of “articles” from all over the world attained widespread notoriety. Market Street ends at the Midland Bank, once the ROYAL HOTEL, the town’s leading hostelry for several decades after 1800, when it was built mainly for the social activities of the Packet Captain. The Hotel later became the terminus of the London mail coaches. • 11. FISH STRAND QUAY, built in 1790, was originally the landing place for the local fishermen and the site of the fish market, described by a visitor in 1823 as a “disgusting
46
public nuisance.” As a plaque on the car park relates, it was near this spot the news of Nelson’s death and of the victory at Trafalgar was brought ashore. The car park itself was once the site of the FALMOUTH GAS WORKS, dating from the early Nineteenth Century. James Wynn, the owner of the Royal Hotel, closed his private gas making plant behind the hotel and moved it to this waterside location to produce gas commercially for the whole town making Falmouth for first Cornish town to lit by gas. • 12. The impressive faade of the ST GEORGE’S ARCADE marks the location of Falmouth’s first custom-built cinema, opened in 1912 - then the second largest in the country. Opposite, there is an interesting dated drainpipe next to the car park entrance, and two very attractive shop fronts constructed in the style of the Nineteenth Century by their owner. • 13. The shop with the stately four-pillared faade was once the PUBLIC SUSCRIPTION ROOMS, opened in 1826, then with six columns. This was the gentlemen’s club at which local merchants and traders met socially and played billiards and where visiting ships’ officers caught up with the news since their last visit to the port. The severe granite-fronted building opposite houses the MASONIC HALL (Freemasonry began in Falmouth in 1751) and the Trustee Savings Bank, of which Hereward Tresidder, a famous local artist, was once the manager. • 14. UPTON SLIP is the sole remaining ope in this part of the town with direct access to the waterfront. At its lower end it has two remarkable ships’ figureheads. THE ROYAL CORNWALL PLOYTECHNIC SOCIETY was founded in 1833. Its building, erected two years later, became the venue for many years of the Society’s Annual Exhibition, at which mechanical inventions and models were displayed for the inspection of interested industrialists and mine owners. It was here that many life saving devices first saw the light of day; the Man Engine, a mechanical means of raising and lowering men in a mine to replace dangerous ladders, and the Safety Fuse, a device used to reduce the risk of accidental explosions, were only two such exhibits. The building now houses the town’s Art Centre, a library and Research Centre for local history and an art gallery which has exhibitions throughout the summer months. One of Falmouth’s former Post Offices, built next to the Society building in 1872, was erected by local businessmen to handle the increasing volume of mail in the district. For several years it also housed the British end of the DIRECT SPANISH TELEGRAPH COMPANY, establishing a cable link with the Mediterranean. French was well to fore in promoting this new method of passing messages, which completely revolutionised communications using the Electric Telegraph.
Packet Walkway Trail 2 of 2 • 15. The PARISH CHURCH, which stands looking along its street, was dedicated by Charles II to his father, King Charles the Martyr, soon after the Restoration, in gratitude to the town for its Royalist support during the Civil War. Although the site has been occupied by a church since 1663, the present building only dates from 1898 when its almost total reconstruction was completed. Its airy, peaceful interior houses many interesting wall tablets which relate to the town’s heritage. Falmouth’s earliest Quays were built by SIR PETER KILLIGREW in 1670, and still remain the focus of much harbour activity to the present day. The red brick chimney which stands beside the main entrance to the Quays is the KING’S - or QUEEN’S - PIPE. This was used, ostensibly, to burn confiscated contraband tobacco by Customs Officers based in 16 the adjacent CUSTOM HOUSE, the attractive Georgian building with a pillard facade fronting Arwenack Street. GROVE PLACE is so named because here once stood a magnificent grove elm trees, inside which Martin Lister Killigrew erected 17 the KILLIGREW MONUMENT or PYRAMID in 1737. This now occupies its third resting place one hundred metres further south. The beautifully rebuilt ARWENACK HOUSE 18 the location of the home of the Killigrew family for about sixteen generations, after they acquired the estate by marriage in 1403. Rebuilt in 1567, it was described as “the finest and most costly house in the country.” Sadly, this house was destroyed by fire prior to the Roundhead occupation of the district and the Siege of Pendennis in 1646, after which is developed into an untidy hotchpotch of ill-planned buildings until reconstruction in its present form. • 19. The impressive ARWENACK AVENUE, presently returning to its former wooded splendour after the ravages of Dutch Elm and sporadic vandalism, is much older than Falmouth itself. It was constructed as the means of access to Arwenack House as well as the venue for a leisurely stroll by the Killigrew inhabitants of the Manor, who called it the “Long Walk.” Originally it stretched further south to the top of the hill where the railway cuts through. After the Killigrew departure in the early 18th century parts of the estate were sold off and this avenue was leased in 1737 to a Mr Deeble who used it as a “rope walk” by which name it is still known by older Falmothians, In those far-off days the “twist” necessary in hempen rope could only be imparted by extending the strands of their full length before twisting: hence a long straight stretch of land was needed and the old venue filled the bill admirable: some shelter was given to the “ropers” by a roof nailed between the trees but, largely, the work seems to have been done in the open air. The land to the west of the Avenue was subsequently bought by the Fox family who built GROVEHILL HOUSE in 1789 and established a small estate of which the present Dell car park was the water garden
with flower beds and ornamental ponds fed by a spring which rose to the north and flowed through the gardens and out into what was then the tidal Bar creek. • 20. At the northern end of the Avenue stood the entrance to the MANOR ESTATE which was defended in the early days by high walls and palisades with the house looking out eastwards on to an unspoilt view of the harbour, a privilege of which recent development has sadly deprived it. (Winston Graham’s wonderfully descriptive book “The grove of Eagles” gives a fine description of Arwenack in the 16th century). The gate posts are believed to be the only parts of the estate to remain in anything like their original condition, except for a small part of the rebuilt house. On the east side at this end of the Avenue originally stood a grove of elm trees (you passed Elm Grove Cottages when walking along the Avenue) in which stood, until 1836, the Killigrew Monument (see No. 19) before its removal to the southern end of the Avenue. The building near the gate posts has a plaque indicating that it was the original Falmouth School of Art, its foundation stone laid by Lord St Levan in 1901, from which has developed the present nationally-recognised FALMOUTH SCHOOL OF ART AND DESIGN. The Society of Friends (or “Quakers,” so named after the movement’s founder, George Fox, who bade others to quake at the name of the Lord) became established in Falmouth largely as a result of the Fox family (unrelated to the founder), merchants, mine owners and ships’ agents (already mentioned under 18). To accommodate what was then a flourishing Quaker congregation in the district this MEETING HOUSE was completed in 1805 on the site of an old water mill, powered from a mill pool in a quarry on the hillside to the west, known as Pike’s Hill where stood a Methodist Chapel, built in 1866 to house the Methodists in this part of the expanding town and demolished only recently. The steps which drop down beside the Friends’ Meeting House form the upper part of Quay Hill leading straight down to the harbour. On the steps is the Oddfellows Arms. The recent housing development above it was for many years the stables of Cyrus Best, one of the town’s several proprietors of all sorts of horse-drawn vehicles. • 21. At the bottom of the steps is NEW STREET, one of the town’s oldest streets. Behind the Meeting House once stood the QUAKER’S BURIAL GROUND until its removal to a site on what was then farmland on the western outskirts of the town. Along New Street towards the Parish Church great changes have taken place over the last 50 years: only a few of the old original houses remain on the east side and these, ruined by unsightly car parking facilities outside their front doors. The PARISH HALL, built in 1935, once marked the end of New Street and the old original graveyard stretched from here up the hillside
to the west. Road improvements in the 1960’s pushed New Street through the old graveyard to continue into what used to be PORHAN STREET, another of the town’s old streets which these improvements obliterated completely. Porhan Street had also been known as Pig Street after the number of these animals kept (for food) by its inhabitants and allowed, apparently, to roam freely. • 22. At its northern end New Street meets WELL LANE, so named after the large number of wells sunk to supply the closely-packed courts and tenements which once led off from its north side covering the site of the present car park and the hillside above: these were, from the bottom, BIRTH’S COURT, ROSE COTTAGES, GUTHERIDGE’S YARD and SEDGEMOND’S COURT. The site of one well in particular is marked today by an inspection cover in the road beneath which water may be heard running in the driest of summers: this was a large open well, 40 feet wide and with 15 steps down its side, from which many people took water up to the 1870’s. Unfortunately, sewage disposal facilities were non-existent in those days and gravity ensured that much of the effluent from the hillside above found its way into the well, causing epidemics of cholera and dysentry in the 1850’s and gastro-enteritis in the late 1890’s in which many people died. On the opposite side of the street against the wall of the old building once stood the Porhan Street or BEEHIVE PUMP, dated 1840, named after the Beehive beer shop, one of Falmouth’s oldest such establishments, the entrance of which is still visible in the arch adjacent to the Polytechnic Society Building. • 23. At the top of the steps at the end of New Street is, once again, GYLLYNG STREET, the principal route to Arwenack House before the 1660’s when the present main street was little more than a clifftop path. Stand here awhile to admire the fine view of the harbour and TREFUSIS POINT from the top of the steps. The substandard housing mentioned as having covered much of the Well Lane/Porhan Street area below once covered much of this area also, the whole having been cleared during the “slum clearances” of the late 1920’s and early 1930’s which, in turn, gave rise to the extensive estates on the north side of the town to accommodate those displaced. Here once stood ALLENS COURT, PRINCE’S PLACE and KOH-I-NOOR PLACEonly FAIR VIEW PLACE has survived this demolition. Between LAWN STEPS and BARBARY’S HILL stands a stone wall today marking the site of the former WIDOWS ROW, a line of small almshouses built at the joint expense of Lord Wodehouse and Samuel Tregelles, for the use of “ten poor windows of good character who have not received parochial relief.”
47
• 24. Further north along Gyllyng Street the road divides and here stand two locations of great interest. On the west the former JEW’S SYNAGOGUE stands, isolated now in what used to be a closely-packed mass of old homes. Seaborne trade must have attracted Jewish traders and merchants to the port in its development and the first Synagogue was located near Fish Strand in 1776. This building erected in 1806, larger and more opulent than its predecessor, has today been tastefully converted into an artist’s studio and living accommodation, having spent some years previously as a furniture repository. • 25. Opposite stand the remains of a building used successively as Workhouse or Poor House (as was customary, as near the borough boundary as possible) it housed the town’s paupers until new Poor Laws in the 1830’s created “Union” workhouses in an attempt to reduce the cost of dealing with the poor by centralising them in a union of several (in this case, ten) parishes. Falmouth’s UNION WORKHOUSE was built on the western edge of the parish in 1851 after much bitter local controversy and the building on this site, used to house child paupers, separated from their parents: the 1861 census shows it to have accommodated over 100 children. With the introduction of compulsory education money was saved by using former workhouses as schools and this building became the BRITISH SCHOOL when the Robert Barclay Fox, aided by subscriptions, in 1859. Purchased by the Falmouth Schools Board in 1898, it became SMITHICK SCHOOL, used by various branches of education until its demolition in the 1970’s. • 26. The left fork leads to CHAPEL TERRACE, named after the presence in a terrace of houses of the (former) Primitive Methodist Chapel. This particularly evangelical branch of the Methodist Church was established in the town in 1827 and the Chapel was built in 1832 at a cost of £226. Seating 193 people, it was said in its year of construction “to stand upon a hill and command a beautiful view of the sea,” obviously before the houses opposite in VERNON PLACE were built. In 1932 the Primitive Methodists united with the parent Church and in 1939 the building was sold. Since then it has been used for a variety of purposesChristian Science Church, working men’s club and Night Clubit is currently owned by the FALMOUTH AMATEUR OPERATIC AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY which uses it as headquarters, store and rehearsal rooms. • 27. Round the corner of the inn at the end of the terrace, formerly the SUMMERHILL INN, is the narrow alley which leads to the top of Jacob’s Ladder. This steep flight of 111 steps leads down to Falmouth Moor and connects with the earlier part of the Packet Walkway at the Central Methodist Church (No. 7).

Interpretation point with potential for further landscaping: Tunnel Beach where work already completed at Gyllyngdune connects a walking route from the town to the beaches. There are already a number of structures in various states of repair, which could form the basis of a great viewpoint over the beaches. A sculpural element is shown above - with 80% reflective anti-bandit glass panels creating a sound mirror, focussing the sound of the sea to a seating point in it’s focus, as well as always giving a visitor the viewpoint of looking out to sea, and inland, at the same time [and vice-versa].
