Middle Market Street, Looe
Middle Market Street, Looe
East Looe is a maze of narrow streets - back in 1979, as now, packed with businesses serving the town's holiday visitors. Inevitably these businesses change over time and neither the two hospitality enterprises or the toy shop on Fore Street continue today in the same form. The Flower Pot restaurant no longer exists - the building is now used for holiday accommodation. The Smugglers Hotel has become the Smuggler's Cott Restaurant and the shop now sells upmarket clothes - perhaps the clearest indication of how Looe has changed.
