Camino Ingles is very well marked and you shouldn't have problem finding starting point in Ferrol in the old port:Hi Thanks all!
I think I will try to book a hotel in Coruna with 24 hr reception and hope for the best, My language skills are terrible so I hope I don't have to negotiate too much if I miss check in!!
Funny story: I actually tried to walk the Ingles almost exactly a decade ago. My mum and I walked around both Ferrol and Coruna looking for the start, or even a shell/yellow arrow sign for ages without success. We even went into the tourist office and asked and they claimed to have never heard of the route! We had to give up in the end. :'(
I'm hoping things will go better a decade on (is it waymarked now?) but having previously spent many hours tramping around both Coruna and Ferrol in the Galician rain I don't feel the need to hang around. If I can find the start I will be walking...! :-D
Fingers crossed! Off to book stuff and getting excited!
Hola - I was just chatting with the hospitalera at Bruma this afternoon about that. When I first wrote the guide there were 1000 pilgrims who walked the route a YEAR! This year over 14000 pilgrims will walk it. And the numbers continue to increase.

Just additional heads up that if you look at the first photo you will most likely come around the corner of the house on the right side of photo. Just continue walking with the port on your left hand side and soon you'll come to starting mojon which at this point shows you its back side. Otherwise just ask, locals know where the stone marker is.Aha super thanks KinkyOne!! So nice to have pictures! Definitely going to get the JohnnieWalker guide thanks!!
Do you mean a credential or a sello (stamp). For a credential order from Ivar as Miguel_gp suggests, The hotel can stamp your credential
Hi thanks, I've ordered a credential from Ivar now. I am a bit worried how to get a stamp as I'm not staying in a hotel in Ferrol. Probably arriving early morning in Ferrol but it looks like the church/tourist office don't open until ten?
As @natefaith already mentioned just ask at the first bar for sello. It doesn't have to be specially Camino designed, usual business sello will do for obtaining the Compostela.Hi thanks, I've ordered a credential from Ivar now.

Starting point is slightly to the left (from this angle) from the white/red boats:
