View towards Newquay Harbour
Newquay was renowned for Pilchard fishing,which came in plentiful numbers but at infrequent intervals.
Until the late 19th century a man known as a Huer,would watch from the house for the shoals to redden the waters, the sign that Pilchards were in the bay.
He then gave a great cry of 'Heva! Heva!' to alert the fishermen of the town.
