If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
You are probably referring to the "Three Pilchards" pub and this photo is not that pub. It is a house a little further up from the pub. Your picture is that of a house. The Three Pilchards (which is still a pub) was for a number of years in the 1990s in the ownership of my close family.
My great-grandfather and g.grandmother lived and worked at The Pilchards Inn, they had three children my grandmother used to tell me about how they kept chickens and ducks in the garden and how she met Daphne Du'Maurier and Alfred Hitchcock whilst in cornwall making a film, thats not bad for passing trade! I cant wait to visit Polperro and sit a while in The Pilchards Inn to remember my wonderful grandmother in a place that was very close to her heart.
