Plymouth Harbour: Mary Gilbert

Plymouth Harbour, originally uploaded by Joanna Young.

I got the chance to walk round the Barbican and Sutton Hoe the first night I was in Plymouth.

Walking towards the harbour I got the strangest sense of having been here before. Of already knowing this place. Stronger than I’ve experienced in other places, including those that I love deeply. When I was walking I was thinking about Mary Gilbert who lived in Plymouth in the early years of the 19th Century.
