:- A shot of a narrow and tight Cornish street after all the day
trippers and tourists have gone home. This is Higher Market Street in
the town of Looe in Cornwall. It's a very picturesque and pleasant place
to visit and is everything you'd expect a Cornish town to be like. It's
streets and roads twist and turn as they wind around old stone houses
in an attempt to confuse you and help lose your way around. They evoke
the long lost days of the excise men and the smugglers they were trying
to catch up with and a time when the biggest and main (legal) industry
was fishing. Most of that's gone now. Fishing is still an industry in
Looe but it's been overtaken by tourism and the coch loads of people
shipped in on a daily basis and carted out again at sundown.
