In 1961 a road toll bridge was also built which is part of the A38. Although it is to the east of the river Tamar, Saltash Passage has been part of Cornwall at certains points in time in the past.
This is the 3rd ferry crossing as counted from the mouth of the river Tamar. The first is the Cremyll ferry for foot passengers from East Stonehouse in Devon to Mount Edgecombe in the parish of Maker, now in Cornwall, but at certain points in time in the past also part of Devon. The 2nd is now the Torpoint car ferry, from Stoke Damerel in Devon to Torpoint in the parish of Antony in Cornwall. This is run on chains below the surface of the river, but prior to this there were regular ferry services already at the time of Carew's survey at the start of the 17th century.
So St Budeaux is one of the parishes where migration between the 2 counties occurred, although not as much as happenned through Stoke Damerel as the Devonport Dockyard expanded, notably in the 19th century.
