Identification
Item: The Logan Rock Inn, Treen Nr Porthcurno.
Description: The Logan Rock Inn from the unmade road with a few unidentified people outside and a couple of horses and carts. This 16th century pub is named after the famous rocking stone perched nearby on the cliff top overlooking Pednvounder and Porthcurno beaches. The picture is likely to have been taken to show the new extension to the left of the original building. The cart coming up the hill has a large milk churn as its load. In 1824, a naval officer displaced the Logan Rock with levers sending it tumbling down the cliff. Local people caused such an outcry that the Admiralty were compelled to replace the 70 ton stone at a cost of £130 8s 6d (over £13,000 in 2016). The bill is on display in the bar.
