Thank-you ,,,this is Cornwall as my parents and grandparent knew i remember the 1940s-50s as a child -teenager ,,,, 83 now ,,,,,,,,,,,,best times far slower pace of time then,,,,Ed from Hayle
I did summer seasons down Cornwall , so like a second home to me, but if only you could have found and named some more of the actual situations. All gone now most of the places and all of the people, so like a mirror into the past.

I'm fascinated by the hats worn by the two old ladies at 02:59. As far as I can gather, they only seem to have been worn by old women and they certainly don't seem to figure in any fashion plates between 1890 and 1930. I have a photo (1920s) of my great-grandmother wearing the same style. Can anybody say what this style of hat was called?

1:58 look at the arthritis on that poor womans hands and her still having to do heavy manual labour. God love her.
The children without shoes that was also hard to see. A hard life for many. No pain medication for the old ladies hands either.
there probably was medication from the local wise woman not a highly paid Doctor. @@maggied8468
What is this lovely music?

Nice job. Thanks.
These photos must be at the very least 100 years old, and the houses in some of them looked well over 100 years old even then.
So nice my dad is cornish from Grampound Road

I live near Par. I usually get a train to Newquay now rather than go to the white elephant shopping centre in St Austell.
Long, long before the grab and greed of Londoners determined the accommodations were ideal 'second' homes/rentals".
