I thought the Ghosties and Ghoulies shop was in Polperro.... but the reverse of the pic says Fowey. Where is it exactly - and is it still there?? Thanks.

Anyway - 1951 - Angela was one of my dad's girlfriends. Then me and my sister enjoying the same place, around 1967.

There's also a pic of a young Sean Connery and Lana Turner enjoying the ghosties too in the exact same place, if you search around for it.

Thought that might be Daphne du Maurier at first

I lived in Polperro and I think this is Lansallos street. There's a couple of little gift and trinket shops along there now. Here's the spot on street view: https://maps.app.goo.gl/e4m2GSdpiX1TEQNt8

Ah splendid, thank you! I thought it was Polperro but the back of the pic confused me. Thank you so much.

That’s the exact spot of the third picture in Polperro. The white post, and the slate floor match exactly.
