A donkey and cart in Market Square, St Just in Penwith, Cornwall. Early 1900s

Market Square (or Commercial Square) with the Wellington Hotel in the background. There are four carts in the picture. The horse drawn cart has a boy driver, while on the donkey cart the young boy has the reins in his hands, but is being supervised by the old man wearing an old fashioned patched farm smock. The young girl on the left is wearing a white smock over her clothes and shading her eyes from the sun to look at something across the square. What looks like a market stall is behind the cart with wicker baskets as it's load. Part of the A.K. Hamilton Jenkin collection. Photographer: Unknown.
