Mawgan Porth 1935 - Geograph - 1725306.jpg
Mawgan Porth 1935
This picture was taken by my Great-Uncle the Rev Tanner and would have been taken during a family camping holiday, the site for which was just upstream of the river from here (see <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1725294'>SW8567 : Camping at Mawgan Porth in 1935</a>). The building just over the bridge was a cafe very popular with the families for breakfasts, looking at Tony Atkin's picture <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/314488'>SW8567 : Mawgan Porth</a> we can see that the building has been extended over the years as has the house behind and there are some more buildings to the left of it, although it looks like one of the bungalows might be the same. Note the 'charabanc' parked in the lay-by, indicating that this village was a popular tourist destination even then.
