By the turn of the 19th century there were three  shipyards in  Teignmouth itself, and three in Shaldon and Ringmore on the  other side  of the estuary. The industry declined in the early 20th century, but in  1921 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morgangilesyachts.org.uk\/shipyard.html\">Francis  Charles Morgan-Giles<\/a> bought the last derelict shipbuilding yard and  gave the industry a  new stimulus. His shipyard became a major employer  in the town,  building pleasure craft in peacetime and small craft such  as torpedo  boats during World War II. However, the business eventually  failed in  1968. The tall residential building visible on the right of  the photo above was constructed on the site of the old shipyard and is  called Morgan&#8217;s  Quay. Since it was completed in 1990 public access has  been restored to this section of Back Beach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/+Bird-feeders-Back-Beach.jpg\"  rel=\"lightbox[roadtrip]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1582\" title=\"+Bird feeders- Back Beach\" src=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/+Bird-feeders-Back-Beach.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/+Bird-feeders-Back-Beach.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/+Bird-feeders-Back-Beach-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Riverside bird feeders.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/+Bird-table-Back-Beach.jpg\"  rel=\"lightbox[roadtrip]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1607\" title=\"+Bird table - Back Beach\" src=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/+Bird-table-Back-Beach.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"393\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/+Bird-table-Back-Beach.jpg 393w, http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/+Bird-table-Back-Beach-196x300.jpg 196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are a number of these posts along the beach &#8211; according to Viv Wilson&#8217;s book, <em>Teignmouth Then and Now,<\/em> they were used for mooring sailing ships under repair.
