More about this scene
In 1872 the surgeon Joseph Lister wrote enthusiastically of Looe's health-giving properties, favourably comparing its climate to that of Switzerland. A steam engine is about to enter the station to link up with a line of carriages that will bring another train load of holidaymakers to this balmy coast.

A Selection of Memories from Looe
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Looe
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I remember the millpool being used as a boating lake and being able to hire rowing boats, canadian style canoes and sailing dinghys.
Over the years the council reclaimed more and more of the millpool for use as a carpark and now there is only a fraction of it left and what was a nice big boating lake is now the main carpark for the town.
This view is at the west end of Hannafore, before the road terminates.
This is The Beach at Hannafore (West Looe).
This is not as stated. This is a view up Looe river, at the point the river splits east and west.
