Pottery is one of the traditional crafts of the area; this pottery is named after the River Ewenny, which also gives its name to the priory founded in 1141 by Maurice de Londres as a cell of the Gloucester
We can almost imagine the conversation between the man in the craft and those on the jetty.
In this quintessential holiday scene a pleasure craft hoists its sail ready to carry a party of trippers up and down the coast. Children paddle in the shallows clutching their buckets and spades.
Fowey, although packed in the summer with leisure craft, does retain the atmosphere of a bustling, working port.
Along Hall Quay are clustered craft of every kind: flat-bottomed barges, wherries and fish- ing boats—it is still the age of the sail.
The man steers his craft to pass astern of the boys' boat, whilst the fishing boats provide an impressive backdrop.
This house was built in the Arts and Crafts style around 1910. As is the case with Mulgrave Road, a few modern blocks of flats replace the earlier houses.
Thence it was a short walk to Shepperton Lock, where one could watch the progress of craft up and down the Thames to Chertsey or Walton.
This was itself rebuilt around 1900 as the Crown Hotel in an Arts and Crafts style.

All Saints Church dates from the 1880s and is decorated in the Arts and Crafts style, with glass by Morris & Co.

Fowey is crowded with all manner of craft, from rowing boats to private steam yachts. The ships anchored in the foreground are waiting to load with china clay.
It takes but a little imagination to people the parkland with yeoman and gentry; ladies in muslins 'enduring' the heat of a summer's day and children floating rudimentary craft on the water while dipping
These could have become entangled with discarded wire, which was probably broken under strain from a visiting craft.
A brisk south-westerly wind snatches sails and flags, rippling the surface of the sea and causing both the sail- and power-driven craft to pitch and roll easily.
Shugborough Hall, Lord Lichfield's house, is behind the trees to the left; the small building on the towing path is now a craft shop.
This assault craft-type ferry belonged to the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Orford Ness, 1959-71.
There could be no harbour, so only coal vessels and small sea-going craft ever unloaded their cargoes on the sand here.
