... that a lookout would be posted to the Huer's Hut(pictured) in Newquay, Cornwall to watch for the arrival of pilchards? "There is a huer’s platform at Carbis Bay, near St Ives, and a particularly fine late mediaeval specimen at Newquay. On spotting the shoal the huer would call out ‘hevva, hevva’ and the fishermen would race to their boats, to cast the enormous seine nets, weighted on the footrope to drag the sandy bottom. The huer would direct the boats by waving branches, originally gorse, in a type of semaphore." from: "8. The Huer Hut". Tudor Times. Tudor & Stewart World in 100 Objects. Retrieved 2 February 2020.
ALT1:... that television presenter Phillip Schofield helped fund the restoration of the Huer's Hut(pictured) in Newquay, Cornwall? "This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield has stepped in to save a clifftop building where he played as a child. He has donated £8,000 to rescue the Grade II Huer's Hut, in Newquay, Cornwall, where he grew up." from: Hardy, Jim (3 November 2015). "Phillip Schofield steps in to save building he played in as a child". Daily Mirror. Retrieved 2 February 2020.
Overall: The article needs more proof-reading to catch some minor errors though I may take care of some myself. I reckon that ALT1 will work best as bait, given Schofield's recent prominence. Andrew🐉(talk) 16:35, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
