The history of Morgan Giles was covered extensively in a recent (within the last 2 years) Classic Boat magazine.

See :-
The Morgan Giles Archive - Home
His granddaughter also just published a book detailing the history of the yard

Ahoy thank you both for this good information , will follow it up

Me approaching the Local Museum , The Teign Partneship , Teign Harbour etc etc with a view to increase awareness along the Back Beach of this Historic Boat Yard : a slipway in Concrete , building blocks etc is still there , so preparing a proposal to use some of that space to errect Didactic , Signge , etc maybe even a MGiles boat moored there

Will get thoughts , visions , necessary actions , present a plan to the primary interested parties , and see where we are , whats achievable in a time scale parties

Thank you all very much for your in-puts CP
