Memories of Cornwall

Born,Lived at Trewellard Cliff

My family lived in a tied cottage at Trewellard Cliff, the farm was owned by the Rowe family at St Just. We lived there until my father died in 1963 (Sept) then moved to Pendeen, I was 12 by then and attended school at St Just CCSS, worked at the foundry at Tregaseal, Holmals shipyard Penzance then joined the Army in 1968, that's another story.

Sight to Gladden The Heart

Cape Cornwall and surrounds gladdens my heart whenever I am able to visit.  From the first time of seeing I have loved this particular view.  We spent many happy months in this area during the 1990's and I hope to return again one day, from this distant land of Australia.

Wartime

I must have explored every nook and cranny around the headland
