Pendarvis House Menu
Text
Menu of Cornish pasties and desserts offered at Pendarvis, a group of stone houses built by Cornish settlers in the 1840s-1850s and restored by Robert Neal and Edgar Hellum in the 1930s. The menu illustrations depict the stone houses Trelawny, Pendarvis, and Polperro, all located on Shake Rag Street, after the custom of women shaking a rag at the front of their houses to let their husbands, working in the lead mines, know that the mid-day meal was ready. The Pendarvis House restaurant operated from 1935 to 1970.
