Gweek, The Village Green 1904

More about this scene
The wheeled contraption on the right is probably a log cart. Imported logs were stored in a pool before being taken inland, often to the mines. For particularly big logs, five or six horses had to be used; the carters would leave Gweek at 5am, sometimes returning as late as 9 or 10pm - a long day, for which they would receive the princely sum of 2s 6d.
