HEVVA ! SEINE FISHING IN 19th CENTURY St IVES
Channel: Cornishpastyman
Date: 23/08/2023

There has been a fishery in St Ives since Tudor times, its August-November  pilchard seining heyday spanning the mid to end of the 19th century. In 1896 the port was No. 4 in the British Isles by weight of fish landed, but within a decade it was all over, with the last successful 'shoot' in 1905, although a final attempt was not made until October 1922. A project group has been formed to create a permanent memorial to this important period of St Ives/Cornish history.

'Hevva !' was written by Dee and Dave Brotherton and performed by Tir ha Tavas*  feat. William and Tricia Thomas. * Dee and Dave
