At the time of the Norman conquest, Plymouth was farmland. It became a port in the 12th century. Named Sudtone in the Domesday Book (1086), Plymouth's original harbour is still called Sutton Harbour.

Sutton Pool, or Sutton Harbour as it is now known, is the birthplace of the modern City of Plymouth (UK). The first Anglo Saxon settlers sailed in to this inlet and made their first sttlement on its shore. Here they built thier fishing boats and mended their nets. From here the Town grew, northwards and westwards at first, thanks to the money earned in the port through trade, and it was from here that the Pilgrim fathers sailed in 1620.

Tacky speculative development around North Quay has destroyed the little remaining historical character and is turning the harbour into a 'Poor Man's Marbella'.

Dreadful. Not an original feature in view except the redundant railway lines in the front left corner.
