Mayflower Marina (Start) a,Ocean Quay At around 1877 a rail good shed was erected at friary leading to a goods line established beyond Devonport and Stonehouse to Ocean Quay. A few years after this in 1890 the quay was improved to take passengers. The idea was that Liner passengers would land by tender and be whisked to London and get there well in advance of those that stayed onboard and alighted at Southampton. There was then competition by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) picking up from Ocean Quay with Brunel’s Great Western Railway (GWR) from Millbay.

  • Port of Plymouth Evidence Base Study: Executive Summary and Final
    Port of Plymouth Evidence Base Study: Executive Summary Executive Summary Introduction Atkins Ltd was commissioned in November 2009 by Plymouth City Council (PCC) and its partners Devon County Council and Cattewater Harbour Commission, with support from the Tamar Estuaries Consultative Forum, to undertake a study of the Port of Plymouth. The study aimed to provide a robust evidence base which can be used to inform a range of future policies and plans in Plymouth and the South West region. Furthermore, should the decision be taken to prepare a masterplan for the Port of Plymouth, the study will provide a sound foundation from which the masterplan can be developed. This summary sets out the key points from the study findings. Purpose of Study Collectively, the four ports (Cattewater, Sutton Harbour, Millbay and Devonport) in Plymouth represent one of the South West’s and UK’s largest and most diverse ports. Whilst the ports all act independently they do have inter-related roles which have a significant combined impact on local, regional and national economic development and transport and, in the case of Devonport, also on our national defence capability. The study aimed to establish a robust evidence base of the four ports with a view to providing important input into a number of key policies and initiatives including: • Plymouth Local Development Framework (LDF) Core Strategy Review and relevant Area Action Plans (AAPs); • Local Economic Strategy Review; • South West Delivering a Sustainable Transport Strategy (DaSTS); and • Local Transport

  • Old Stories of the New World
    OLD STORIES OF THE NEW WORLD The people that crossed the Atlantic in search of new beginnings. STORIES OF MIGRATION PLACES, PEOPLE AND VOYAGES COMMEMORATION AND ANNIVERSARY TOURS FIT AND GROUP TOURS Discover the stories of migration between England and America – including The Great Migration – when twenty thousand men, women and children crossed the Atlantic in search of new freedoms in the new world. There’s nothing like a quest to stir the soul and fire the imagination. It’s the sense of anticipation only a voyage of adventure can bring. History is rich in tales of human courage. Never more so than the stories of the ‘ordinary’ individuals who risked all they knew – all they loved – in the hope of founding a new life in a distant land. Whether fleeing religious persecution, starvation or seeking employment and opportunities, their reasons are many and varied. Yet they’re united across the ages, by a single thread - hope. From the struggles of the Jamestown explorers, the plight of Cornish tin miners to the midnight tragedy of SS Titanic or the bright hopes of young GI brides in WWII, few adventures are so rich in love, loss and a legacy that connects us all. So begins a decade of historic connections. The ‘Great Migration Period’ - uniting the USA and England. 2019 marks the 400th anniversary of Jamestown; 2020 the 400th anniversary of Mayflower’s journey from Plymouth, England; and 2030 - the 400th anniversary of the mass departure from Boston, England - inspired by Rev John Cotton. Millions of Americans can take this opportunity to explore and experience their ancestral roots.
