Old Town, St. Mary's
Old Town, St. Mary's
Known as Porthennor when, in Medieval times, this was the most important harbour on Ennor (as the island of St. Mary's was then known). The tree covered lump on the horizon (left) is the site of the 13th century castle. An annual rent of 8d or 300 puffins was to be paid to the crown for this. The airport buildings can be seen on the right hand horizon.
