Village street in Port Gaverne, St Endellion Cornwall. 1906

View between houses to the beach. Two ladies are in the doorway of one of the houses, looking out to sea. Bathing huts can be seen on the beach and a person in a bathing suit is in the water. Port Gaverne was once a busy port used to export slate from the nearby Delabole slate quarry. It was also a very active seining port and the port's four pilchard cellars were capable of processing around 1000 tons of fish per week. By 1900 tourism was the village's main industry and it remains popular with holidaymakers today. Photographer: T. Mitchell

Wall, Gwinear, Cornwall. Early 1900s

View of Wall settlement. In the foreground, with a group of people and a pony, is Francis Hale's wheelwright shop. Signage on the shop states "J.V.H. Hill". The thatched cottage next to it, Box Tree Cottage, is where John Wesley, the Methodist preacher, slept when he visited Wall in 1743. The Methodist Chapel is in the background.

Rashleigh almshouses, Polmear, Tywardreath, Cornwall, 1959

The Rashleigh almshouses were originally built around 1800 by William Rashleigh as four cottages. They were extended later in the 19th century by three more cottages and, in 1855, a small hospital block was added. The buildings were restored in 1977 to 1978 when the seven almshouses were converted into three cottages, with extensions at the back. Photographer: Charles Woolf
