Introduction

Hello and welcome, I have collected Shallowpool dolls for some time and as my collection has grown so has my interest in the history of the dolls. There has been very little recorded and certainly no one has listed the full range of dolls created by the three ladies who started the cottage industry in the early 1950's.
I hope to eventually list, photograph and describe many of the dolls that were created in the workshop in the small village of Shallowpool, near Looe in Cornwall.
I am grateful to everyone who has been kind enough to share their photos, answer my questions and respond to my letters, especially to the lady from Looe who contacted me recently with some possible pics.
I am listing some of my dolls on eBid and Ebay, please take a look.Dairy Maid, Looe Fisherman, Dolly Pentreath, Mary Kelynack, Primrose Seller, Violet Picker, Pirate Captain, Bal Maiden, Morris Dancer, Japenese Geisha Girl, Little Black Girl, Clay Worker, Cornish Lady, Sir Francis Drake, Victorian Gentleman, Old Mother Hubbard, Cardinal Wolsey. If anyone has any dolls in their collection not mentioned or any information, I would love to hear from you.
