Beautiful Watercolour Titled Early Morning Polperro Harbour By Donald Jackson
Signed by artist lower right
Polperro was once a thriving centre for smugglers, where contraband such as brandy and tobacco were traded. The ‘free traders’ of Polperro are all but memory now, the stuff of tales and mystery, with a whole host of records at the village’s Museum of Smuggling. Although the vast shoals of herring are much depleted in the area, Polperro is still home to a small fishing fleet, but these days the main income for locals is drummed up during the busy summer months from visitors who come to admire fair Polperro
Polperro’s enchanting maze of old stone cottages is an alluring treat for lovers of Cornwall. The houses seem to defy gravity in places, hugging the steep edges of the valley; Polperro’s river, the Pol, twists its way between them as it makes its way to the sea. Some of the bridges date back to Roman and Saxon times and some of the houses invite comment and photography like the House on the Props and the Old Watch House where the naturalist Dr Jonathan Crouch once lived.
