L1090916 Smugger's Cottage Tolverne, Cornwall.

My mother Elsie Luxton can be seen standing next to a coiled rope on the hard constructed by the US Military to create an embarkation point for LSTs sailing to Normandy as part of the D-Day Landings.

Tolverne Cottage was an attractive Inn and Tearooms known as "Smuggler's Cottage" which was a popular destination until 2012 when the site closed and its nautical bric a brac and militaria were auctioned.

Items in the auction included a chair used by General Dwight D. Eisenhower when he stayed at the cottage during the D-Day preparations.
