Remains of pilchard cellars, Port Gaverne, St Endellion, Cornwall. 1973
Port Gaverne was once a busy port used to export slate from the nearby Delabole slate quarry. It was also a very active seining port and the pilchard cellars were capable of processing around 1000 tons of fish per week. Two of the four large pilchard cellars built in the early 1800s are now owned by the National Trust, these being the Rashleigh and Union cellars. National Trust signage can be seen to the left of the opening in the stone wall. Photographer: Charles Woolf

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the remnants of a once-thriving fishing industry in Port Gaverne, Cornwall. Taken in 1973 by photographer Charles Woolf, it showcases the remains of pilchard cellars that were instrumental in processing an astonishing 1000 tons of fish per week during their heyday. Port Gaverne was not only a bustling port for exporting slate from Delabole quarry but also a vibrant seining port. The four large pilchard cellars built in the early 1800s played a crucial role in this thriving industry. Today, two of these historic structures - the Rashleigh and Union cellars - are proudly owned by the National Trust. In this photo print, we see one such cellar with its stone walls still standing strong against time's relentless passage. To the left of its opening, National Trust signage stands as a testament to their dedication to preserving Cornwall's rich heritage. The image evokes nostalgia for an era when fishing was at its peak along these rugged coastlines. It reminds us of the hard work and skill required to process such vast quantities of fish while highlighting how industries change over time. Photographer Joyce Greenham has beautifully captured this slice of Cornish history through Woolf's lens, allowing us to reflect on our connection to both land and sea. This remarkable image serves as a poignant reminder that even though times may change, our appreciation for our cultural heritage remains steadfastly intact.
