Went out today to shoot some casual everyday photos. Which on my way home included a trip across on the Torpoint Ferry. Which even being Plymouth born & bred I haven't done for decades lol
The Torpoint ferrys were established in the late 1700's (1791) as a service across the river Tamar between the Torpoint side in Cornwall & the Devonport side in Plymouth. They officially cam into service in 1832.
Propelled by pulling on the thick, heavy chains across the river that sink back down into the river after the ferries pass over them. Each one able to take over 70 cars with an average crossing time taking no more than 10mins
