More about this scene
This 18th-century inn was associated with smuggling - this isolated part of the coast was notorious for the illegal trade. Under cover of darkness, brandy, tobacco and bolts of lace and velvet were brought along Velvet Lane from the shore. A typical tavern on Pilling Moss, the Old Ship still has a pump in the yard embossed with the initials of the Nicholson family and dated 1782.The spire of St John's church can be seen in the background.
