More about this scene

The small hamlet of slate-roofed farm houses and cottages lies at the end of a lane near Black Head, sheltered in the valley which climbs up from Hallane Beach. A local looks over the cottages, where it is washing day for at least one family (centre).

My dad's Grandma, Louisa Batchelor, was born at Trenarren in one of the block of three cottages to the left of the picture, now demolished. Her mother's maiden name was Rowse (no relation to AL). They moved to Fowey about 1870 where she met a sea captain who came with coal and returned with china clay. In 1877 he carried her off to Hull, Yorkshire, where they were married. Beth Meese.
