Cornwall memories
The Churchyard at Ludgvan
My father, Joseph Martin and Ruth, my mother, are buried at Ludgvan, together with his parents (Joseph and Sarah). The latter died in 1949/1950 and had lived at Castle Gate (Badgers Cross). My father attended school in Ludgvan and worked as a journalist pre-War and until 1952 on many local papers including The Cornishman, in Penzance, sometimes writing under the pen-name of John Penwith (Leaves from a Cornish Notebook). There are many references to Ludgvan in his writings. As a toddler, I lived at Trezelah and went to school in Gulval.

Mount With Castle Gayer in Front
In front of the Mount is the folly of Castle Gayer which recently changed hands for £3m!
Chapel Rock And Mount
About this time they were adding the Victorian wing to the castle where the family live now. More trees now but some have been felled and replanted, they only last 100 years! I worked briefly on the Mount, happy memories of Lord & Lady St Levan
All Saints Church
Old rectory on right, since demolished.
Godolphin Arms
St Michael's tea rooms in front, later the Giants Nose, now the Ferry Cafe.
Fore Street
They demolished the shops on the left cos it was so narrow, then built the bypass! The Silvermine gift shop is there now.
