Roll the mouse over the photograph to identify some key features of this harbour scene . Notice the number of buildings, the harbour and the types of boats and ships..

Can you spot the slipway for launching small boats?

Look at the print of the Harbour 1850. What differences do you notice? Look at the buildings - are they the same? Is the harbour as busy? Is it less built up?

Look at the print called Torquay Harbour 1825. How can we tell that this is an earlier picture? Look at the roads, houses and buildings and ships in the harbour.

Look at the photograph called Seafront (late 19th century). What changes have taken place? Is it busier? Look at boats in the harbour, the roads, houses and the land use.

Challenge! When you have looked at each picture carefully, copy and paste the 4 pictures into a word processor document in chronological order. Write an explanation of how Torquay Harbour and the surrounding area changed.
