Street furniture and signs in Mullion Village An unusual street scene taken from within Janet's pasty shop (called 'Munchies'). The clutter of street furniture and signs on this street corner is all too obvious and it is clear that the street is very narrow for cars and pedestrians alike. It is a view which is rather characteristic of such Cornish villages.

The photo includes the view of a traditional and very tasty pasty being hand-made by the owner. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2423885">SW6719 : Traditional Cornish Pasty Shop</a>

The area from the Lizard around to Newlyn is where you can find some really excellent, high quality and tasty traditional pasties and all freshly made on the premises.<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2174447">SW4629 : The Coombe - Aunty May's Pasty Shop</a> <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2423854">SW7012 : Ann's Pasties - a view inside the kitchen/shop</a>

Traditional Cornish Pasty Shop The area abounds with small shops and other outlets producing traditional Cornish pasties.  

This building is rather modern by comparison to the other buildings in and around the church in the middle of Mullion village. Janet the owner certainly produces excellent pasties and well worth a visit and a chat.
