Perranzabuloe Old Cornwall Society has done Cornwall a service in re-issuing this fascinating book, originally published in 1939 and now scarce. “William Roberts and his generation were the last to grow up in a Perranporth dominated by the Cornish industries of mining and pilchard seine fishing…   Fortunately for us he decided to relate his knowledge of earlier times… in a published book.” (Blurb). This is an engrossing insight for all who only know the town in its current guise of seaside resort.

200 pages, illustrations, folding map.
