Falmouth Docks

The development of Falmouth Docks began in 1858 and the foundation stone was laid by Viscount Falmouth in 1860 although the location of this stone is not known. The first ship to enter the docks arrived in 1861.
The Docks are currently managed and operated by A&P. At present Falmouth has three graving docks that provide up to 100,000 dwt dry dock capacity. There is a total wharfage with craneage and all other technical services, of 2.5km.
The docks are about to embark on an exciting phase of redevelopment that it is envisaged will include a world class 300 berth marina called Port Falmouth Marina. This will herald a new phase in the history of Falmouth Docks that will see new investment bringing benefits, not just for Falmouth, but the whole of Cornwall.
The regeneration plans include the provision of a new cruise liner terminal capable of accommodating the latest super cruisers. These plans are currently under assessment.
Our Falmouth port boasts one of the world’s largest natural deep-water harbours. Falmouth is the largest ship-repair complex in the UK with 3 large graving docks and extensive alongside deepwater berthing providing capacity for vessels up to 100,000 tonnes.
Offering onsite engineering, electrical, paint and fabrication workshops and links to all other specialist contractors and OEMs, these are integrated to provide a complete range of marine repair services to the customer.
As well as extensive workshop facilities across all disciplines Falmouth offers bunkering facilities, the ability to dock without gas-freeing, in-water surveys and propeller polishing.
Falmouth is a busy working port handling over 100,000T of product annually and with over 30 firms located in the docks providing a full range of services including towage, ship’s agency, area port health, diving services, local surveyors and tank washing.
Falmouth is used by 40,000+ cruise passengers annually who see Falmouth as the gateway to Cornwall. Partnerships Falmouth has many long-term shiprepair partners, including P&O, Grimaldi, Condor, Gardline, Euroships, Stena UK and the Ministry of Defence.

Docking Church in Norfolk was another which I encountered while house-hunting last weekend. The church is dedicated to St Mary The Virgin. It mostly dates from the 14th and 15th century with Victorian restorations.

While in the village I was told that there is an archaeological project locally to try and find a lost 12th to 14th century priory. One theory is that this failed priory made be under the present parish church but test digs have been held around the village to play 'hunt the thimble' or - in this case - "hunt the priory', so far without success.
In his three-volume guide to Norfolk churches author Adrian S. Pye suggests that the tombstone of John Houton (d. 1428) near the south porch of Docking Church is the oldest surviving tombstone in Norfolk.
English Jesuit martyr Henry Walpole (executed 1595) was baptised here in 1558. He was later canonized as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.
SImon_Knott tells me that Docking is the highest town in Norfolk so that makes the top of Docking Church probably the highest building in the county, at least pre-1900.

Tate Britain Commission 2014
Inspired by Tate Britain's location in relation to the river Thames, dock is Barlow's most ambitious sculptural installation to date. Obtrusive and invasive, the works in dock block and impede the way, overfilling the 100 metre long barrel-vaulted Duveen Galleries. They project dual and contradictory identities: monumental on the one hand, collapsed on the other. Made of lightweigh materials such as timber, metal, polystyrene, tarpaulin, canvas, cardboard and rope, the works in dock look battered or ravaged and offer an antagonistic counterpart to the austere neoclassical galleries. Suspended , collapsed, stacked, wrapped, folded or jammed, the sculptures have taken over and create a dynamic space that challenges the experience of viewing.
Sculptor Phyllida Barlow
Sculptor Phyllida Barlow will unveil her largest and most ambitious work in London to date for the Tate Britain Commission 2014, supported by Sotheby’s, on 31 March 2014. The annual commission invites artists to make work in response to Tate’s collection of British and international art and to the grand spaces of the Duveen Galleries at the heart of Tate Britain.
For over four decades Phyllida Barlow has made imposing, large scale sculptural installations using inexpensive, everyday materials such as cardboard, fabric, timber, polystyrene, plaster, scrim and cement. Her distinctive work is focused on her experimentation with these materials, to create bold and colourful three-dimensional collages.
Drawing on memories of familiar objects from her surroundings, Barlow’s tactile and seemingly unstable sculptures often contrast with the permanence and traditions of monumental sculpture. In works such as Peninsula at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in 2004 or Stint at Mead Gallery, Warwick Arts Centre in 2008, a cacophony of form, colour and materials filled the spaces. In Barlow’s most recent work TIP for the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, timber lengths wrapped in mesh, cement and brightly coloured fabric ribbons cascaded en masse across the museum plaza to the entrance.
Phyllida Barlow has had an important influence on younger generations of artists through her work and long teaching career in London art schools. At the Slade School of Fine Art, her students included Turner Prize-winning and nominated artists Rachel Whiteread and Angela de la Cruz.
Having seen the space evolve over several decades, I’m very excited by the opportunity to work in the Duveen Galleries. Considering a body of new work, I was very conscious of two particular contradictory aspects: the tomb-like interior galleries against the ever-present aspect of the river beyond.
