Polkerris, The Beach c.1965

More about this scene
Children play on the beach and collect flotsam from the tide line while their parents sit beside windbreaks. The roof on the fish palace has now almost completely gone. In the centre is the old lifeboat house with its slipway, built in 1903. A lifeboat station was established at Polkerris in 1859, when the first boat was given by the Rashleighs of Menabilly. The station moved to Fowey in 1922, and the lifeboat house later became a café and shop.
