I won the Cornish longboard championships at Constantine Bay in 1967. I was the profesional lifeguard at Treyarnon Bay in 1967 and 1968. Friendships established then and still true include Anhtony Richards, Robert Ede, David Powell, Peter Andrews, Rick Stein, Steve Bond, Andrew Blight, Rip Kirby, John Ball, John Jewell, Mike Hannaford and others. Brilliant years never to be experienced again... [more]

Cornwall memories
Yes I remember the two sisters from my childhood - my sister and I thought they were really scary - when our father drove the car up to Trevose lighthouse we would hide in the back seats of the car when we went past the toll gate! Reading the memory above brought this memory back - I think they were always... [more]

I was interested to read the lady's memories of the area and of the toll gate ladies at Mother Ivey's Bay. We had a a wonderful May holiday staying at Crugmeer Farm and visiting such places as Trevose Head. I have a lovely photo of my father by the lighthouse. He died last year and this spring we took our sons,... [more]

I first visited Trevose and Mother Iveys Bay around 1969/70 with my grandparents. I was 7 or 8 on my first visit. I have continued over the years to visit, first with my husband-to-be and sudsequently our children, and we will return as a couple this year, our boys having grown up and talking of visiting this wonderfull place with their...

I remember camping for 2/6d a night. Mrs Dane (I think) ran the site. Having too much cider, trying to surf. Walking to Trevone Bay, eating in beach cafe run by Ron, and his son Chris looked after the car park. Went back last year, not much has changed.

Our Picnic While Boscastle Flooded
On the day of the Boscastle flood I went with my wife Carmela, and our kids Molly, Libby and George for a walk up to the lighthouse on Trevose head above mother Iveys Bay. The sun was shining beautifully though the wind was strong (as it always is on the cliffs). We stopped halfway above the lifeboat station to eat our... [more]

My children, Molly, Libby, and George loved taking turns with me rowing across from the shallower of the two beaches the short distance across the calm bay to the lifeboat station which as we got closer loomed large like something from a James Bond adventure. We came ashore on the small beach under the lifeboat station that appears... [more]

I was lucky enough to go abroad for our family holiday every year. Towards the end of the 1980s my second holiday around August time would be to go to Treyarnon Bay with my best friend Becci and her parents, and I fell in love with the place and the surrounding areas. I'm sure the pub/hotel was named the Beachcomer back... [more]

Newquay to St Ives Photographic Memories
The palm trees add an exotic touch to the park in this view, which looks in a similar direction to the 1890 view (No 23967 on page 43). By this date the open spaces have been infilled with housing, and the Perranporth Hotel can be recognised on the far side of the pond immediately behind the right-hand tree.

Newquay to St Ives Photographic Memories
It is just three years after No 41609, above, and the Porthminster Hotel has been given an extension in the form of a smaller version of the original building. This is a steep site, and the road along the front of Draycott Terrace is supported by a substantial stone wall. The terraced cottages in Primrose Valley below are still intact.

Newquay to St Ives Photographic Memories
The church could hardly be closer to the sea. Many of the buildings can be recognised today, but they are now separated from the water in the harbour by walls supporting a road and a walkway. The St Ives lifeboat is on its carriage outside the lifeboat house on West Pier near the church. The present lifeboat house is on the near side of the pier. ... [more]
