Readymoney Cove, Fowey. Around 20% of the Cornish male population migrated abroad from ports such as Fowey, Padstow and Looe. Many were forced to leave family and loved ones behind in search of better wages and greater opportunities. In total, the county lost over a quarter of a million people between 1841 and 1901.
