Newquay was originally a fishing port of Towan Bilstra before the new quay was built in the fifteenth century. Among other things the quay was used for the import and export of mined ore and coal and for many years the main industry was fishing for pilchards and salting. Although pilchard fishing died out years ago this fishing town still has a working harbour, although it’s hard against the big swells of the Atlantic, they still manage to get out when the weather is good.
