Cadgwith and Poltesco

Once 'twas serpentine and fish 

By Michael Tangye

West Briton 11 October 2007

"The importance of gathering fragments of local history while there is still time could not be more clearly evidenced than in Michael Tangye's admirable new book Once 'twas Serpentine and Fish, writes Douglas Williams. Nearly 35 years ago he sat with the old and retired fishermen "on the stick" plank bench at Cadgwith and listened to their rich dialect.

He recorded their words and delighted in their stories.

This Redruth bard has brought the research of his own labours and many others to recall past years. Around all the tales of Cadgwith, Poltesco and Carleon Cove is an excellent spread of photographs of those old days, magnificently illustrating his themes."
