Cadgwith and Poltesco Once 'twas serpentine and fish By Michael Tangye West Briton 11 October 2007
"The importance of gathering fragments of local history while there is still
time could not be more clearly evidenced than in Michael Tangye's admirable
new book Once 'twas Serpentine and Fish, writes Douglas Williams. Nearly 35
years ago he sat with the old and retired fishermen "on the stick" plank
bench at Cadgwith and listened to their rich dialect.
