Three Anchors

In the short story Ingots of Gold, the Three Anchors is the inn in Polperran in Cornwall. Mr Kelvin is the landlord. The inn is one of the major centre of action in the plot. John Newman takes Raymond West to the bar at the inn where in bar talk, Bill Higgins and Kelvin tell the story of the Otranto which reputedly went down in recent months with a load of bar gold. Later suspicion focussed on Kelvin for doing away with Newman. A lorry with incriminating tyre marks is found at garage of the inn. However a lady artist staying in a cottage opposite alibis him.
