Identification
Item: View of the harbour and new dock from Lescudjack
Description: Penzance from Lescudjack, one of many images of the Penzance area taken by Robert Preston and contained within an album. Looking southward, this is a very soft focus photo taken from the fields of Lescudjack. Detail is lacking but the West Cornwall Railway sheds can be seen clearly at the head of the Albert Pier. The walls of the floating harbour/dock can be seen so dating the photo to after 1885. An elderly man leans against a hedge to indicate the path and to give the picture some perspective.
