More about this scene
We are looking west as the A387 drops down into the hamlet to the bridge over the River Seaton at the bottom of the hill, before the road climbs up the other side on its way to Looe.

I also remember that jeep as if it were yesterday. My Grandmother, Marjorie Buckley, was the Headmistress of Hessenford School in the 40's and 50's (maybe into the 60's before she finally retired) and I spent alot of my youth living with her and on family ...see more
