Freeman’s Wharf is named after ‘John Freeman
Sons & Company Limited’ established in 1848.
The Freemans seemed to have had quite an empire in
Penryn with at least two quarries (Maen and Polkanuggo),
steam engines, stonemasons, blacksmiths and cranes
for lifting the heavy granite blocks on to small ships.
Freeman’s Wharf and Eastwood Road continue alongside Budock Creek towards Glasney Valley.

bridge to cross the Penryn River. Freeman’s Wharf on the far right of photo. Credit:
