In 1980, Her Majesty The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and The Duke of York visited Newlyn. During the visit, The Queen named the new pier The Mary Williams Pier. 

The Queen and her party also visited our newly built shellfish storage tanks to be introduced to all the Partners. Ronnie Harvey, Jack Harvey and Gerald Harvey had the pleasure of demonstrating our live shellfish, cooked shellfish and shellfish pots to the Royal party.
