Heritage Museums
Monday, 18 July 2011
The last one I visited was in Polperro, South Cornwall, England. Being in Cornwall their heritage museum includes smuggling and fishing. From contraband goods from Guernsey to the murder of a Customs Officer and even more recent stuff like Customs & Excise and Police seizing a large amounts of smuggled cannabis.
