2-3: The South Quay Market and Garden
|
Above: Much of
the South Quay is now devoted to tourism. The pointed huts on the
left belong to the Harbour Market selling a variety of art, craft
and food products. The red canopies on the right belong to Harbour
Garden Cafe which, at the time, provided live music.
Below: A different angle on the
market and garden |

7: The South Quay
| Above: The remaining section of South Quay
houses..... the Crab & Winkle Seafood restaurant
with its familiar balcony overlooking the harbour basin
(left).... and the indoor fish market (right). At
the quayside are the ex-pilot vessel, "X Pilot" (nearest the
camera) and the restored tug "Kent" (nearest the
harbour wall). |

8: Views from the North Quay
| Above: View from the North Quay towards the
Inner West Quay.
Below: A small vessel weaves its way out of
the harbour beneath the balcony of the Crab & Winkle
restaurant. To my uncultured eye, I would guess that this
is Norwegian motor/sailing boat - probably built circa
1961. I would estimate the keel to be 3ft 6 inch draft
with 10 feet beam. (Okay, so I looked it up on the
internet! However it is interesting because it has a
pointed stern. Thus the hull is similar to the
"open" Sheringham Crabbers that occupied the
Dead Man's Corner of the harbour some years ago.

9-11: Distant Views from the Harbour
| Above and Below: These shots may be of
interest. Taken from the harbour's sout quay with a
telephoto lens, they show the revamped Castle peeking
through the trees on Tower Hill. Some of the turrets
appear to be smooth cement. I assume that they will
eventually receive stone-cladding to match the rest of the
building. |
