PORT ISAAC

CORNWALL, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1159

Port Isaac has been an attractive fishing village since the early fourteenth century. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with old white-washed cottages and traditional granite, slate-fronted Cornish houses, many of which are listed as of architectural or historic importance. From the Middle Ages until the middle of the 19th century, Port Isaac was a busy port handling various imports and exports, including coal, timber, pottery and Delabole slate. Over recent years Port Isaac has become a popular location for both films and television series. The village is possibly best known as the fictional Portwenn from the ITV television series Doc Martin starring Martin Clunes.

PADSTOW

CORNWALL, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1157

Traditionally a fishing port, Padstow is now a popular tourist destination. Although some of its former fishing fleet remains, it is mainly a yachting haven on a dramatic coastline with few easily navigable harbours. The influence of restaurateur Rick Stein can be seen in the port, and tourists travel from long distances to eat at his restaurant and cafés. This has led to the town being dubbed "Padstein", by food writers in the British media. However, the boom in the popularity of the port has caused house price inflation both in the port and surrounding areas, as people buy homes to live in, or as holiday homes. This has meant significant numbers of locals cannot afford to buy property in the area, with prices often well over 10 times the average salary of around £15,000. This has led to a population decline.

MEVAGISSEY

CORNWALL, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1156

Mevagissey is an attractive old town which was once the centre of Cornwall’s pilchard fishery and which still boasts a working harbour, with a few dozen small fishing boats. It has a tradition of boat building dating back to 1745. Many of the old buildings, constructed of cob and slate, bear testimony to a time when the large shoals of pilchards were the livelihood of the whole village. In the narrow streets are many gift shops, craft workshops, galleries, cafés and pubs. There are several hotels and many fish restaurants in Mevagissey and, of course, plenty of fish and chip shops! Many of the latter were once the haunts of Cornish smugglers. Megavissey was Atticus' favourite and most authentic Cornwall coastal village.

MOUSEHOLE

CORNWALL, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1151a

Mousehole is a picturesque fishing village on the south coast of Cornwall between Penzance and Land’s End. A hundred years ago Mousehole was a bustling port, crowded with local fishing boats, landing pilchards. Each year, early in November, timber beams are laid across the narrow harbour entrance, to protect the village from the worst of the winter gales. Even so waves can still be seen breaking over the harbour wall at high tide. Mousehole today has retained much of its old world charm. Its narrow streets are filled with small shops, galleries and restaurants. Local cottages built from finely grained Lamorna granite, huddle together around the inner edge of the harbour. The area is protected from the force of the sea by two sturdy breakwaters. Dylan Thomas described the village as the loveliest in England, but there are many Cornishmen who would dispute that this part of the world can be classed as England!

Wheal Coates is a former tin mine situated on the north coast of Cornwall on the cliff tops between Porthtowan and St Agnes. It is preserved and maintained by the National Trust. Earliest records indicate a mine at the site since 1692. The present mine opened in 1802 and was closed in 1889 when the price of tin fell.
The surviving buildings date from the 1870s when deep underground mining began at the site. This image shows the Towanroath Pumping Engine House (1872) which was used to pump water from the adjacent 600 ft Towanroath shaft.

ST. IVES

CORNWALL, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1146

St Ives is a port in Cornwall. The town lies north of Penzance on the Celtic Sea. In former times it was commercially dependent on fishing. The decline in fishing, however, caused a shift in commercial emphasis, and the town is now primarily a seaside resort, notably achieving the title of Best UK Seaside Town from the British Travel Awards in both 2010 and 2011. It was also named best seaside town of 2007 by The Guardian newspaper. However Atticus was disappointed to find that St Ives has become a jag for tourists and is simply overwhelmed. It was more interesting to photograph the tourists making fools of themselves than the phoney village.
