"Nowadays the village is home to fishing and tourism" - are you serious? You put this as a joke, right? FISHING??? I've lived in the village since 1973, and ok there were a couple of Salmon fishermen years ago, but I've not seen so much as one slimy old Eel pulled from the Tamar in years!!
And as for tourism, well we do get a few Emmets down here in summer, but it's not exactly a tourist Mecca now, is it!!??
My grandmother grew up in Calstock; I grew up in Plymouth. Visited Calstock a couple of times in the fifties on the tourist boat (unfortunately, not the paddle steamer), though it could only go the full distance if the tide was in. The last visit was about 35 years ago, by train, with a few family members. Love your views from the viaduct. Have some photos as a fond memory.
