THE INSIDE STORY OF CALSTOCK
by
Alfred Pengelly

This book was originally written in 1955 by Alfred Pengelly who spent all his life in Calstock. It was reprinted in facsimile form in April 2005.

In the book he tells of his boyhood memories of Calstock. He talks of the river traffic on the Tamar, both about the barges and their cargoes and about the pleasure steamers. Several boats were built at the boatyard of James Goss situated on the Devon bank opposite Calstock. There were regattas every year, a tradition which is still carried on today.

The book is illustrated, showing the viaduct in construction and the regatta.

 It may be purchased for £3 including postage and packing in the UK and £4 overseas. Cheques can only be accepted in Sterling pounds. All profits go to support the archive.
