Village
Flushing (Cornish: Nanskersys) is a coastal village in the civil parish of Mylor, west Cornwall, UK.
The village was founded in 1661; there is disagreement about whether there are any houses of the late 17th century.
Originally named Nankersey, meaning valley of the reed swamp, the village was given its name by Dutch engineers from Flushing in the Netherlands who built the three main quays in the village. The grand houses on St Peter's Hill, the road that leads into the village, were owned by captains of the packet ships (mail-boats) that docked in nearby Falmouth.
This is a typical winter scene in Cornwall - sunny but cold
