Finding fishermen in Victorian Cornwall
While the status of the miner on Cornwall’s coat of arms seems assured, warranted by their 30 per cent or so of the total workforce, that of fishermen is less secure. In contrast, the two per cent of the enumerated adult male labour force in 1861 who were described as fishermen suggests they were a much rarer breed.
Nevertheless, there were in excess of ten fishermen in just over ten per cent (24) of Cornwall’s parishes, this proportion being much higher of course if we exclude inland parishes. Yet Cornwall’s full-time fishers in 1861 were almost as geographically concentrated as its clay workers. Fully 55 per cent of fishermen were found in just two parishes in the far west. St Ives was home to 302 fishermen while Paul, containing the villages of Newlyn and Mousehole, hosted 748, more than one in three of all Cornwall’s fishermen.
The most unexpected aspect of the map above is the absence of fishermen on the north coast, particularly Port Isaac and Padstow. Just eight fishermen were recorded as such in the parish of St Endellion, which included Port Isaac. Meanwhile, we’re informed that Padstow was home to just two. Did these places really have very few full-time fishermen in the 1860s? Could there be missing fishermen, the local boats perhaps being at sea at the time of the census? Or were fishermen recorded as mariners, both parishes being home to considerable numbers of the latter.
More generally, outside Newlyn and St Ives fishing was likely to be more of a part-time activity. The many examples of men described as fisherman and something else in the census hints at this. Full-time deep-sea fishing was a growing industry but considerable numbers were still employed in seine fishing, taking the shoals of pilchards that appeared close to the Cornish coasts every year. Seine fishing was a part-time pursuit, heavily capitalised but employing men for only a few weeks at most. These are lost to us in the census, disguised by their more mundane and all year-round callings as masons, grocers’ assistants, labourers or whatever.

Es dauerte natürlich etwas länger als 40 Minuten retour von #Padstow nach St. #Ives , da war noch ein Kunstladen in St. Agnes und das Monument für Basset (Minen!), Carn Brea Castle (jetzt ein Restaurant) und jede Menge Minengebäude. #RanagoesCornwall

Wenn einem der Regen nicht gerade wie Nadeln ins Gesicht prasselte, konnte man durchaus die Aussicht zwischen #Padstow und Mother Ivey’s Bay genießen #RanagoesCornwall

Am Abend in #Padstow noch eine Runde durch den Ort mit einer persönlichen Belohnung. # RanagoesCornwall

Bevor es zum Ausgangspunkt der Wanderung nach #Padstow geht, bleibt noch Zeit #Tintagel Castle zu besuchen. Im Frühjahr waren war schon geschlossen und diesmal schreckten uns die Eintrittspreise ab (£21,50), für die wenigen Mauern. #RanagoesCornwall

I don’t really understand this story.
Mushy peas, tartare sauce and curry sauce are extras and cost more. In the rightly-celebrated Magpie in #Whitby they’re all listed for £1.75 each. Also the standard cod or haddock is £16 and chips are £2.50, so essentially the same as Rick Stein’s in #Padstow.
“Fish and chips” hasn’t been a really cheap meal for a long time, and anyone complaining probably hasn’t been to a good local chippy recently.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge August 22: #folklore on #FolkloreDay
On May 1 an ancient procession goes around #Padstow, #Cornwall. How ancient, no one really knows. Locals may describe it as a pagan fertility rite but even their generational memory draws a blank and no living soul can put an age on it. #AlanLomax's Oss Oss Wee Oss (1953) is probably the best known visual documentation of the #ObbyOss festival ☞ https://write.underworld.fr/settima/oss-oss-wee-oss-1953
