Barbican Drake and Cook both knew the harbour well, Drake being a Devon man and Cook setting out on all three of his Pacific journeys from here. Then there were the many other groups of settlers bound for different parts of the New World – America, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Many convicts too bade farewell to England's shores from here, among them the Tolpuddle Martyrs in 1834 who, having been fully pardoned, were back sooner than they had anticipated and who spent several nights in March 1838 in the Dolphin Hotel here before returning to Dorset. Historically this area, which flanks the bodies of water known today as Plymouth Sound and The Cattewater has always been well-provided for in terms of public houses. There is also a high concentration of restaurants and food outlets, among them Britain's oldest bakery (it was operating in the sixteenth-century) - Jacka's - and further around the Harbour, the old town's oldest remaining inns – the King's Head, at Bretonside and the Minerva in Looe Street. This building, like the contemporary Elizabethan House museum in New Street, is a timber frame structure with its staircase constructed around the mast of an old ship. Both were built as dwelling houses and the conversion of the former to a pub is by no means a rarity around the Barbican, indeed several of the oldest premises around the Barbican, have, in the last ten to twenty years, been converted to pubs or restaurants. The China House is where Cookworthy is thought to have undertaken his pioneering work on the production of porcelain in the 1750s, one hundred years after this warehouse had been built. It remains one of the few waterside warehouses in the country still to have water lapping three of its walls.
