Another moment in the square caught by the camera. This appears to be lunchtime judging by the number of peo- ple taking their ease.
The village is home to both the College and the Shuttleworth Trust.
Harbour Road is close to the sea. Both the Angel and the next building are clad in weatherboard. Further down the road on the right is the Globe Hotel.
In the days before environmental concerns, both Par Beach and nearby Carlyon Bay were badly polluted by white, sticky clay runoff; as late as the seventies, it was clogging family washing machines after
Both these buildings were demolished in 1923. Hiding much of the castle keep is the Toll Booth.

The Royal Marine Hotel on the left has now succumbed to a towering ten storey block of flats, Metropole Court, one of three architectural disasters along the sea front.
This view of the beach shows it in use by both holidaymakers and local fishermen.
Dawlish began as two discrete hamlets, one inland by the parish church and another on the seashore, but quickly grew as the first visitors arrived to holiday in the late 18th century.
Said to be the highest town in Surrey, Haslemere is 500ft up in the hills close to the borders of both Sussex and Hampshire.
Yet another vanished Surrey watermill, testimony to a virtually forgotten source of power. This mill stood on the Pippbroook, a tributary of the Mole, but has now been demolished.
There is one motor launch in the foreground and another on the right of the picture.
Arlington Mill served the locality as both a corn and cloth mill and has most recently been a countryside museum, with an excellent display about the life and works of William Morris.
It could be a Pierrot troupe, or even a minstrel show; both of these were popular acts at the time.
Both had been employed by the local magnates, the Lowther family, to manage their lands. This corner of Cumbria abounds in associations with the poet.
The hanging sign on the extreme left is that of the Stand Up Inn, whilst further along on the opposite side of the road is another pub, the Red Lion, which was originally a well used coaching
Another fine period piece, with onlookers watching the Frith photographer, who has set up his camera where Market Hill turns sharply to descend to Fullbridge Flow Mill and a bridge over the
This is another of Tintern`s hotels, pictured not long after it had been transformed from the Carpenter`s Arms. Note the decorative brickwork and the many chimneys.

All Saints' Church stands proudly at the top of a sharp double bend and hill on the A607 road going towards Lincoln from Grantham.
Another view from Castle Hill, this time looking west. In the bottom left corner is the tramway that brought ball clay from Peters Marland to the station at Torrington (centre).
Because the River Cam itself is not wide enough for conventional races, races called 'Bumps' are held.
Speedwell Cavern, at the foot of the Winnats Pass, is another of Castleton's famous show caves.
Here we see another restful feature in the Valley Gardens, but this is a later design. The area was originally a croquet lawn, established in 1864.
