More about this scene

The steep descent to the end of a lane gives a certain isolation to Polkerris, and this early view shows perfectly how the little village clings to the valley bottom behind a beach and stone pier. There was a pilchard fleet here, and the fish cellar claimed to be the largest in the county.
