History



wanted to share with you these photos I took in Polperro, Cornwall, England.  Granny Johnsons (nee Heath) father was born here and went to sea from here as a 14 year old boy, I am imagining that a lot of these buildings would not have been there then.  Isn't it beautiful, although he only came back to visit his dear old mum.  He would have played and walked these very narrow streets, you could almost stretch your arms out and touch both sides.

  1. Beautiful photos sis. Thanks for sharing our history of family, I did not know of. It must have been nostalgic walking around the streets. Fourteen was a very young age to go to sea. Makes you wonder how they built the houses on the water like that.
