LOCAL historian, photograph collector and Voice reader Barrie Doney has no shortage of pictures and stories from Cornwall’s past, which he shares with Voice Newspaper readers every week.
This week’s photograph takes us to a sight from the past which was preserved in fiction.
Barrie says of this photograph: "The family house of the Rashleighs since Jacobean times. During the 1920's it became the home of Daphne du Maurier and was used in her novel Rebecca, in which it was renamed Manderley.”
