Identification
Item: Sennen Cove, Cornwall.
Description: A photograph of Sennen Cove, looking North East, with an unidentified lady walking towards the photographer. Sennen was one of Cornwall's most important pilchard ports and methods for catching the fish did not alter dramatically from the late 16th century to the early 20th century. Agriculture and fishing were the main sources of employment. In the 1930s wages were around £2/10s to £3 per week, but because of the seasonal nature of fishing pay days were not regular. The saying in the Cove used to be "Will pay when the mullet is catched". Source: The Book of Sennen. Sennen Local History Group.
