This is Kingsand in Cornwall which was dressed up to look like Margate for Mike Leigh’s film, “Turner”. The artist was drawn to the light of coastal Margate and he lived and loved there but long before this he had made a walking tour of Cornwall, (places I know from childhood onwards up to my most recent visits).
His route through Cornwall is recorded as Saltash, Looe, Fowey, Lostwithiel and Restormel Castle, St Mawes, Falmouth, Penzance, Mounts Bay, Lands End, St Ives, Redruth, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Padstow, Tintagel, Boscastle and Bude.

There is such a thing as living too close to the sea.
I guess so – costly too in terms of the picturesque as well as the renovations
The top picture feels as if the street should be cobbled (not tarred, but function over aesthetics?)
cobbled it must have been but we no longer wear hobnail boots but have insurance claims instead. Still nice to imagine these streets when smuggling was a lucrative and necessary trade!
“Five and twenty ponies,
Trotting through the dark –
Brandy for the Parson, ‘Baccy for the Clerk.
Them that asks no questions isn’t told a lie –
Watch the wall my darling while the Gentlemen go by !”
One of the Farrell-favourite places. Nice to think about it.

We have no plans to visit soon.
