Newlyn Court, Cornwall<br><p>The men here are standing next to the dinghy of the ‘Jenny Lind’, a lugger which was broken up around the time this photograph was taken. In 1896, the town’s Methodist fishermen were involved in a series of riots. They protested against the landing of fish on a Sunday by non-Cornish boats. The local drift-net fishermen were also worried that the incoming trawlers would damage their fishing grounds.<br></p>
