Salcombe Past & Present, What Change?

These 2 photo's were emailed to me by a friend, one was taken in 1959 and one in 2006 (on a mobile phone...I wonder what the camera for the 1959 photo looked like?!?!?). The great thing is Salcombe has hardly changed, I know there are some new developments in Salcombe that are not to everyone's liking, but in general Salcombe has managed to retain it's water front character pretty much unblemished.

It's up to us to ensure that this doesn't change by questioning and understanding all the planning decisions that effect our water front. Without us the natural progression of this world along with the power of (or in the case of Jubilee Pier the lack of) money would probably see the change that none of us want.
