More about this scene
We are on the south-east coast at Cawsand Bay; the twin villages perched above the beach, where fishing boats are drawn up. The fields and woods of the Mount Edgcumbe estate reach down to the water. A sailing vessel is tacking out in the bay in front of Fort Picklecombe, one of the mid-Victorian defences to protect Devonport's naval dockyard.

When I was three or four years old I visited Cawsand for a family holiday. I remember it very clearly because, for various reasons, it was the only holiday we all went on together. I am hoping someone might be able to solve an on-going mystery.
