Holidays With Owners Ruth And Norman Jeffries
We stayed as a family at the Crown Inn many times. We loved the pub and the village and local people. Hope to re-visit. I believe that Ruth lives next door.

My Mevagissey
I worked as a tech rep for Rylands, Whitecross, Warrington and I stayed at The Hollies, Mevagissey every six weeks. Mr Jackson was the owner, "Jacko". His daughter was married to a local fisherman. During one visit I arranged for a wire rope to be collected for the fishermen's Co-Operative from British Rope At Par .
For that action the Co-Operative made me an Associate Member of the Fishermen's Social Club. I befriended one fisherman in particular, his name was Ken Billing and when my son was born Ken insisted that I bring him to Meva. Together with my wife we came to Meva and Ken took us out beyond the Dodman and baptized my son with sea water, calling him Piran after the Patron Saint. Many a happy night was spent in the Ship Inn listening to the "Judge" hold court. Many other tales I could tell, so my family's love of Mevagissey is as strong now as was all those years ago.

Where is This Building?
I have on my wall a large pencil drawing of this location with a different set of gentlemen, date unknown.
Have visited Mevagissey a couple of times but could never find this particular building and steps. Is it still there or has it been knocked down or renovated in some way?

Henry Thomas Johns
I have researched my family tree and I am the son of a Henry Thomas Johns, who was part of a long lineage of fathers of the same name descending from Mevagissey. I think they owned 3 boats, Pet, Three Johns and Lizzy. I would like to know more about them and if there are any of our family still living there.
The Ship
Myself and my friends were only 21 when we stayed at The Hollies. We had a great holiday and used to go into The Ship, The Harbour L|ights, and The Fountain for drinks and food. I remember we had nice weather, but we were young and it didn't really matter. We went out on a fishing boat called 'The Venus' and its skipper was called John. He lived in a cottage on the quayside and was a 'ladies man'. I wonder if he is still around. We caught mackerel and took it back to The Hollies and they cooked them for our breakfast next morning. Everybody wondered why we were getting preferential treatment! We loved it and came back a few times.
