The Pilchards Works, Cornwall { 17 images } Created 9 Apr 2009
The Pilchards Works was the last Cornish Salted Pilchards factory in England.
In the 16th Century Cornish Salted Pilchards were exported to the whole of Europe. Since The 1950's The Pilchards Works was exporting its pilchards in boxes and barrels only to the Northern part of Italy. As the demand fell and the EU rule changed it became an unsustainable business.
The Pilchards Works closed its doors at the end of November 2005.
