Smugglers at the Lugger, Portloe, Cornwall.



Where do you suppose this padlocked, rusty barred gate leads to?
Smugglers be here!
I spotted this fascinating doorway whilst staying at the Lugger Hotel in Portloe, Cornwall last year.
The 17th Century inn has a dark history. 
In 1890 its landlord, Black Dunstan, was sent to the gallows
after his second career in smuggling French brandy was uncovered. 
Sharing the spoils with Louis La Vache, in beautiful San Franscisco,
for
Monday Doorways.

Millston Postcards provided this great image.
Close to the cathedral town of Truro, hidden away in a tiny coastal village
with the waves almost lapping at the door, is a beautiful hotel.



Hanging the Do Not Disturb notice on the bedroom door.................
