I noticed a commemorative plaque today that I haven’t seen before despite having used this short cut on many occasions.
Falmouth history
Captain Richard Upton, a former smuggler turned excise man who went on to become Mayor of Falmouth on two occasions, lived in the house at the top of Upton’s Slip which is in the picture below.
Upton’s Slip
There is a mural on the way out of one of the car parks which was renewed last year and looks brilliant.

The other wall
Please go to http://www.spectrumasd.org/epic-aims-church-street-mural/
to see both sides of the mural and to read about the project which celebrates Falmouth as a community and promotes awareness of autism in a positive way. You can read about each of the children involved. It is truly inspiring.
P.S. Added 7th April 2018.
In the comments below, you will see that I have been asked about the figurehead at the bottom of the slip. I found this short Youtube video about her, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc7cPW2LeuI
