There's not too many years between these two shots (only eight) and not too much change visible either. It's the view from half way up the hill on Gugh, looking down to Black Point, over Porth Conger on St Agnes. The new quay is visible in both, with the improvements that have been made in 2008 quite obvious in the latter shot.
I find this "little" change quite saddening - the crumbling of the little old quay on St Agnes, in front of the Turks Head. I'm not sure what caused this significant decay - I looked back at some shots from 2006 and can see it there too, so at least it wasn't caused by all the recent work to improve the new quay. But it definitely looks significant enough that it can't just have been weather damage, can it? At least it's not been destroyed as thoroughly as the old quay in Old Town, on St Marys - which has all but disappeared!
The world famous Turk's Head Inn in a plethora of shots. The first was taken circa 1970-ish (please let me know if you can supply a better guess?) just after it opened, and for good measure there's a shot of the first landlord, a chap named Roger Bush. The rest were taken in 1988, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2005 and 2006.

The old boat which you will often find outside the big house on Gugh, just up the beach slightly from the sand bar - seen here in 1997, 2005 and 2006.
The 2007 shot was very kindly sent in by Alison Sutherland - thanks Alison! And the 2005 shot is used with kind permission of John Jenkins
The strange structure on Burnt Island off St Agnes, pictured here in 2004 and 2006. I've never been entirely clear on what this is for - any ideas?
