Even the enjoy a Barbican & Hoe Tour 🕺🏼 On 12 September 1967, the Beatles posed for a photograph taken by music photographer David Redfern (1936-2014). This famous photograph on Plymouth Hoe shows ‘The Fab Four’ with an all-white Smeaton’s Tower, the Belvedere and Tinside Lido in the background. The band had stopped off in Plymouth to pose for photographers while they were making ‘The Magical Mystery Tour’ film.

Did you know........ 🤔

Plymouth is home to some of the most stunning and well known attractions throughout the UK. The coastline to either side of Plymouth into Devon and Cornwall is peppered with some of the country’s most envied beaches and romantic hidden coves, and just on the edge of Plymouth, you get one of the finest and largest national parks in Britain - Dartmoor!

Plymouth has an interesting and varied history, and there are some fascinating local sites to be visited in the area dating from the 15th century onwards such as the famous Mayflower steps where the pilgrims set sail.

Within Plymouth there are currently 37 ancient monuments including boundary stones, milestones and other markers which add great interest to the local heritage landscape.

Plymouth prides itself in its arts & culture, being host to many all year round exhibitions, events and displaying all forms of cultural diversity. Home to Beryl Cook, whose work was often comical, picturing people whom she encountered in everyday life, including people enjoying themselves in pubs can be located within the city aswell as one of Britain's most infamous painters Robert Lenkiewicz whose work still exists on the walls of buildings within The Barbican.

Sadly, Plymouth is under the radar for lots of people, don’t let it fall under yours! There is something about living by the sea that adds value to your life. It’s indescribable, but if you know what I’m talking about, you know. Plymouth is regarded as ‘Britain’s Ocean City’, well, that’s the slogan, but it’s more than that; it’s a gateway to a rich history, a diverse landscape and home of the cream tea.

Let me show you why Plymouth is such a great city and you might appreciate the place a fraction as much as we do.

You should know something about Plymouth – it was heavily bombed in the Second World War. So heavily bombed most of the city was reduced to rubble. There were almost 60 bombings on the city, and it’s suggested it was the worst bombed city in the UK. I don’t know how they work these things out, but looking back on pre-war photographs, it’s easy to see the damage caused, which should be taken into account when you visit.

Plymouth is a bit of a concrete jungle with some questionable architecture, so now you understand the reason why you will realise it only adds character to such an exciting place. So, without further ado

F.H.Jacka 38 Southside St. is Britain's oldest commercial bakery based in Plymouth’s Barbican,
It was operating at least as long ago as the 16th century, and was open when Sir Francis Drake played bowls on Plymouth Hoe before turning his attention to the Spanish Armada.
Jacka's also served the Pilgrims' Father’s boats before they headed for America
