Two men mackerel fishing with long rods on rock
Two men pictured fishing for mackerel with long rods. The fishing rock picture here in the 1920s (note long rods and browse-can) is one of several situated at the foot of granite headland. Getting onto it entails climbing approximately 200 feet to sea level and climbing back again (with a sack containing 100 mackerel on a good evening!). The homeward trek was invariably in darkness.

Elizabeth Arden, who was born Florence Nightingale Graham, and founded the world famous cosmetic company. There are some who claim she was born in Hayle; however, there is no evidence to support this. It is generally believed she was born in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada. Her mother, Susan, however, was Cornish.
