This is possibly the Wallis family at the Tolcarne, Newlyn. Baskets had many uses; the square one is a laundry basket.
The men look as if they are posing with their wares.

The cart is part way down the North Pier, Newlyn Harbour.
Sailing vessels alongside the pier. The sail number on one vessel indicates it's a St Ives registered vessel.

Auction at Mackerel Market in front of the new harbour offices in Newlyn Harbour.

Similar spot to JDC 414 and 415.
View looking towards the completed South Pier, Green Rocks and Newlyn Town top right. You can just see the old pier - dark area, top right. Fish are being landed from small boats. Trails in the harbour mud indicate…

This is before the harbour offices existed. Area to the left is the site of the present fish market. On the extreme right is the base of the North Pier and the Bridge House. Centre right now is the Newlyn Co-op.

Similar to JDC 413, looking in the opposite direction, ie, down the harbour to the South Pier in the distance. About half tide. Mount's Bay luggers alongside the North Pier. Early fish agents had their wooden sheds on the North Pier.

About half tide. Fish hawkers or jousters with donkey carts, etc, on the beach to receive fish landings from small boats. The crowd behind possibly attending fish sales. The level area was sometimes referred to as the Mackeral Market of Trowl Market.

A small group of locals from the period are on the pier.

In the foreground is a group of small boats, ie, punts, and one sailing lugger. All these boats are in the old harbour.
In the centre top is a large group of Mount's Bay sailing luggers, all taking advantage of the new larger harbour, built between…

Opposite the steps if the 'Lookout' building called the Custom House. You can see the long sheds of the fish market in the distance. Behind the fish market is the lower part of Newlyn known as Street-an-Nowan.
