The Tea Party
This is an image of Harold Knight's painting 'The Sonnet'
(RA 1911), featuring Alfred Munnings reading a poem to Laura Knight (in pink), Florence Carter Wood(in blue), Dolly Snell (with red hair) and another.
Area is the Strand, Street-an-Nowan, showing a weigh bridge far left bottom, now discontinued. Buildings left to right are part of Chigwins Grocery Shop (now the Chinese takeaway), then The Swordfish Inn (previously the Union), then the Newlyn Co-op…
End of the railings is where the Mousehole bus from Penzance stops. All white buildings in the centre are gone. Now this is Newlyn car park, not to be confused with the other car park at St Peter's Hill, Newlyn Town. Note: the road looks as if there…
Later view of JDC 271. Building near the old bridge now rebuilt with shops below. Flooded by very high tides coming from the slipway on the right. Newlyn Bridge bus stop at the railings in foreground.
