A view of the market square in West Looe with the Cornish Arms public house on the left. Presumably photographed before 1892 when the inn's license was withdrawn as an immoral house (West Briton, 29.9.1892). The inn sign says R. Moore but this name does not occur in H.L. Douch's Index of Public Houses. Photographer: Surgeon Captain John Campbell
