The Portreath Pepper Pot (I wouldn't suggest saying that more than once after a visit to the pub)!

The Portreath Pepper Pot (I wouldn't suggest saying that more than once after a visit to the pub)!
A Huer's lookout.
The Huer had to look out for the coming of the pilchard shoal; when seen, the town would galvanise into frenetic but well-practiced action! The nightmare scenario was if it was missed because it passed by in the night! In which case somewhere else in Wales or Ireland benefited.

A well composed and interesting image Andy.................some lovely wild flowers in the foreground and I love the shape of the "pepper pot".

I knew what these were used for (although I didn't realise they were looking specifically for Pilchards), but I had never heard of the work "Huer", so I had to Google it. Did you know that it's use is vary rare nowadays (used rarely. Huer is in the lower 50% of commonly used words in the Collins dictionary)?

Thanks Keith!
A rare word but only because the shoals don't come any more!
