About :: Pandora Ferry History Established in 1468 the crossing became an essential link for the Post Service running between Falmouth and London; the ‘Post boys’ were the bringers of news and orders for ships. Regrettably the service ended in the 1950s. In 2010 the service was reinstated by Cornwall Ferries Ltd.Sadly in March the Pandora Inn was the victim of a devastating fire. We will still be providing a limited daytime service in 2011 for walkers around the river. We are hopeful that there will be some temporary catering and bar facilities available this summer.
