Teresa Mallett on cottage steps carrying a wooden barrel pail. Port Gaverne, St Endellion, Cornwall. 1906

Teresa Mallett is standing at the foot of the steps of a cottage, carrying a wooden barrel pail. 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: Herbert Hughes

Remains of pilchard cellars, Port Gaverne, St Endellion, Cornwall. 1973

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 pilchard cellars were capable of processing around 1000 tons of fish per week. Two of the four large pilchard cellars built in the early 1800s are now owned by the National Trust, these being the Rashleigh and Union cellars. National Trust signage can be seen to the left of the opening in the stone wall. Photographer: Charles Woolf
