The Baulking House St Ives by Ronald Haber
The Baulking House on Hain Walk in St Ives is quite an interesting piece of St Ives history. It is often called the huer's hut as this is where the huer worked. A huer was a person who stood on a prominent lookout on the cliffs, looking for the telltale shine of a pilchard shoal. They would cry out loud enough for the boats to hear in the bay, and help direct the fishermen to the fish. The Huer's Hut or Baulking House is where the lookout would wait and is the best view in St Ives. Acrylic on canvas
