More about this scene
On Pilling's main street stood Pilling Pottery, run by Jim Cross. The site considered for St John's Church was known as Ship Meadow. It became Church Field, but the old name is interesting, linking with the large wherry owned by a noted smuggler. Brandy, tobacco, lace and velvet were brought up from Pilling shore by horses.
