Could you tell who someone was just by the pattern on their sweater? In the small Cornish village of Polperro, this might have been possible.
In this video we dive into the story behind the fisherman’s knit-frock, a traditional, hand-knitted jumper once worn by local fishermen and passed down through generations.
This video is part of the Missing Pieces Project, which recognises that every person’s connection to these historic places adds a unique perspective, helping to build a more complete picture of England's heritage.
The stories of these historic seaside places are still being written, and they won’t be complete until you share your memories and first-hand experiences of these gems.
