Plymouth

A couple of weeks ago Christine and I managed to nip to Plymouth for a few hours.  I needed a bit of a break, and she needed some clothes.  So we went on the train, and ended up getting soaked in the historic part of the city ... she didn't shop, but I got my camera out!



Mayflower Steps (where the flags are) ... looking towards the route The Mayflower would have used.

The house the passengers embarked from on their final trip.  On the wall is the list of the passengers - I have in the past posted a close up of that plaque.

The white building is Elizabethan ... and the central post is the ships mast of the boat of the owner!

Two new statues ... put there to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee ... 2 famous Plymouth residents ... and a tourist!
