The Torpoint Archives and Heritage Centre
Our Current Exhibition
Torpoint Rowing Club
In the TAHC we currently have an exhibition dedicated to the history of the Torpoint Rowing Club.
Here is a small sample that reflects the exhibit:
Letter from 1967 updating on the progress of the building of the Rowing Club
The Torpoint Topics
Torpoint Topics was created as a fundraiser very early in the life of Torpoint Rowing Club.
It sold for one shilling when first published in 1967, and was produced “in-house” by a group of volunteers using duplicators and each copy had to be collated and stapled by hand.
The first issue was 500 copies and sold out. Print runs of a 1000 copies were then made on a monthly basis, and included notices of Rowing Club functions, such as dances and youth activities. It also included games and puzzles, a Torpoint Personality of the Month and a local history series by Jack Kingston.
The Torpoint Archives hold two full sets of the Torpoint Topics, why not pop in and take a look!
This is only a sample of our exhibition.
There is so much more to see on display within our center; so why not pop in and take a look, and have a chat with one of our volunteers too!
