Prussia Cove is a place I walked to in 2007 and have come away knowing that I have todo my family tree as I am related to both Captain Harry Carter and his brother John Carter (The King of Prussia) who were local smugglers. My brother has been named John Carter Read and it is from my mother's side of the family Thelma Carter from Par. My mother is now deceased but I shall be happy to go back to Cornwall this year to start the search and look forward to seeing Prussia Cove again where a lot of the Carter smuggling was done. Does anyone know the name of the house there that John Carter had and whether it still stands today?
Any information that anyone has already found would be greatly appreciated and you can email me on claraduck1@yahoo.co.uk please.

Looking from Prussia Cove (Prussia Cove is the area, not an actual cove) towards Kennegy. Tin mine workings exposed on beach and on cliffs above. Kerrier DC (it's just on the border of Kerrier and Penwith DCs) have replaced the rope we abseiled down with stainless steel steps and ladder, but it's no easier to get down!

The Hotel has a fine cloak of ivy. Tregenna Castle is still one of St Ives’ best known hotels, and now boasts a golf course amongst its many facilities.

The putting green lies above Porthminster Beach. It was here, on rough sandy banks, that the St Ives pilchard fishing boats of the 19th century were drawn up clear of the beach. St Ives Station can be seen directly behind the boy in the foreground.

A view looking along St Andrew’s Street to the Parish Church of St Ia. The church was built in the early 15th century using granite quarried from sea-level cliffs near Zennor, a few miles west along the coast. The granite was carried by boat to St Ives.
