Delfshaven: The Harbour the Bombs Missed
Delft dug a harbour to dodge Rotterdam's tolls. Pilgrims left from this quay. The mill still grinds malt. Ten stops sit in that old pocket: the Oude of Pelgrimvaderskerk, Stadsbrouwerij De Pelgrim in the former town hall, the Zakkendragershuisje, the lock at Aelbrechtskolk, the grain warehouse that now holds the Dutch Pinball Museum, Piet Heynsplein, the Achterhaven basin, the Voorhaven quay, the malt mill De Distilleerketel, and Station Delfshaven. The historic core is a pocket the bombs skipped. Self-guided in the StepQuests app. GPS between stops. Stories you read on your phone.
