Fowey to Polruan Ferry, Fowey, Cornwall. January 1993
Paul Toms at the helm of the Fowey to Polruan ferry, which has been bought by his father Allen Toms who owns Toms Boatyard in Polruan. The ferry was motorised just before the First World War but can be dated back to the 16th century when a rowing boat plied the route. This purchase by the Toms family means that they own both ferries across Fowey harbour, for they ve owned the Bodinnick car ferry, half a mile upriver, since 1975. Photographer: Jonathan Barker.
