Harbour View, Polperro Polperro Harbour This week is Mental Health Awareness week and much is made these days about our mental health. During the Covid lockdown many people turned to puzzles as a way of filling time, keeping minds and hands occupied. Much was made of puzzles for good mental health but for many a puzzle is an absolute nightmare! They are a bit "love them, or hate them" "Do them or Don't". We here at Grovely Puzzles hope, of course, that you love them! 500 or

Did you know that the first puzzles came about around 1760, to lighten the severities of victorian education!! The first puzzles were beutifully engraved and hand coloured and embelished maps mounted on to mahogany and then cut using a fine marquetry saw along the boundaries of the countries and counties,and were then used in the teaching of geography. Heare at Grovely we also make disected maps in wood, But now we call them jigsaw puzzles and we also make them in Cardboard.
