    1. I know this post is 2 years old but if village rendezvous is the bottom pic of these two I can tell you where it is! It's Glebe Row, Phillack, Hayle, Cornwall.

  5. The Village Rendezvous was painted in Hayle, Cornwall, where the Phillack road leaves the main road through the town.

  6. It is indeed Phillack, Hayle, but not near the main road (Which is the B3301).
    It is where Lethlean Lane crosses the Loggans Mill leat and makes a crossroads with Undercliff and Glebe Row. The granite posts on the bridge are still there, and so is a public seat in the same location, but the thatched cottage on the right is replaced by new housing though those on the left remain pretty much the same.
