Tiny Planet: The Huer's Hut, Newquay

🌐

Hello my fellow hivens, I hoped you liked my last post and image from last week's ? . I took it standing on top of the Huer's Hut, a distinguishable building in Newquay, Cornwall. What do you think of it? ☺️

The Huer's Hut is a distinct building which dates from possibly the 14th century in Newquay, Cornwall. It was used as a lookout for a huer whose job it was to alert the townsfolk of pilchard shoals out at sea. When this happened, the huer would shout 'Hevva, Hevva!' ('Here they are!') and then the people of the town would prepare to catch the fish with the help of the huer who would then guide the boats using signals from lit bushes covered in cloth.

The hut is now a grade II listed building. Here's a standard pic of the building and another tiny planet photo. I hope you like it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and see you next time. 👍
