I found this nice shot in the pile of photos from my first visit to Scilly in 1987, and then received a very similar view from John Leach, from way back in 1967. So, I decided to try to recreate it this month while we were on St Marys. The backdrop of the buildings doesn’t seem to have changed much, between ’87 and now, although you can see a few "improvements" such as the extension of the beachcomber flats (if they’re still called that). The difference between ’67 and now is more obvious though…
