Jews House, Lansallos Street, Polperro, Cornwall

This house with its doorway on the first floor is typical of coastal towns in the South West. The lower floor would have been used for storage, probably as a fish cellar for storing fish. The entrance to this storage area can be seen in the wall on the side of the building. The house probably dates from the 17th century and is made of rendered and painted stone rubble.
