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.

  • Black Cow Village Shop, Dalbury Lees, Derbyshire
    Pub is the Hub Case Study The Mussel Inn, Down Thomas, Plymouth, Devon PL9 0AQ The Mussel Inn is located in Down Thomas; a small village with a population of around 333 residents, situated about 4 miles south of Plymouth, on the Wembury peninsula, in South Hams. The pub is owned by Enterprise Inns, and run by licensees, Victor & Lynn Walsh. The local Post Office closed in 2005, but the small village shop remained open. Following the closure of the Post Office, there was strong community support for it’s re-opening, and the Down Thomas Action Group was formed. The licensees put forward the suggestion to convert their disused garage into a Post Office, and in early 2007 Pub is the Hub was approached to help. Pub is the Hub has been the catalyst for the development of this complex project, working closely with pub owner Enterprise Inns, the licensees, the Post Office and Devon Rural Renaissance, providing development support, and bringing partners and funders together. Converting a disused garage fronting the pub car park, directly opposite the front door of the pub, has created the Post Office. An additional valuable facility has been created in the form of a room at the back of the Post Office that can be used for community meetings. The new Post Office and community room are ideally located within the village. Planning permission was required, and the local planning department were very supportive of the development. This was a complex project, and required a significant public sector investment. The work involved included completely refurbishing and fitting out the disused garage.
