Identification
Item: Potatoes for up country markets
Description: Three trailer loads of potatoes in sacks adjacent at the goods yard at Long Rock. Four men pose in front of the crop. This yard was hugely important in the export of fresh produce from West Cornwall to the markets from about 1880 to 1950. Other Penhaul photographs show potatoes being harvested at nearby Pleming prior to bagging and transportation. A little earth around the potatoes acted as a preservative.
