Cornwall memories
Growing up in Newlyn
I used to live in Church Town on the corner down the road from the butchers, it was a thatched cottage (long gone now). There was a large pine tree growing on the corner of the churchyard, my brother and I always liked climbing this tree. The tree has also gone now. I had a friend who lived a few yards up the road, he was called Keith Green, I don't know if he still lives in Newlyn. I also remember the Jago family, and the Peters family. My mother used to work with a bunch of women who worked the land, spud picking, strawberry picking, that sort of thing, she was called Dorothy Bailey, or Di to her friends. I also remember playing down the mines with my brother John and Rodney Dix. I have lots of memories of Newlyn, the sun was always shining in those days.

Military Training With 39th Signal Regiment at Penhale
Penhale Camp is situated towards the northern end of Penhale Sands and the Ministry of Defence owns this which is used as an army training area.
In Summer 1969 I had recently been posted to 39th Signal Regiment and was billeted at this camp which I remember as as really great! Excellent summer weather helped of course. Our training activities included firing with the old 762 self loading rifles and familiarisation with helicopter flights over water.
After a couple of weeks here I had sunburn from the exposure to Cornwall sun and ringing ears from the rifles.
Annual Camp With 39th Signal Regiment at Penhale
Penhale Camp is situated towards the northern end of Penhale Sands and the Ministry of Defence owns this which is used as an army training area.
In the summer of 1969 I had just transferrred to 39th Signal Regiment and was billeted at this camp which I remember as really great! Excellent summer weather helped of course. Off duty hours allowed time for sand, sea and surfing!! Our training activities included firing with the old 762 self-loading rifles and familiarisation with helicopter flights over water.
After a couple of weeks here I had sunburn from the exposure to Cornwall sun and ringing ears from the rifles.
Yo Terriers
Used to ride our ponies from Perranporth to Newquay, the only obstacle in our way was the Army camp at Penhale. We solved the problem by jumping the fence riding past numeroous tents and exiting by the Holywell gate. Wonder if any of those camped there remember us.
MRI International Weekend Away
Since the early 1960s my parents began taking the family to stay at the home of John and Sheila Penna, and they eventually created the Pennasville holiday homes. When at Taunton School in circa 1965 I stayed at the camp with the school's CCF brigade! I got bitten by some bug one night in the ear, and was confined back to Penhale and missed all the agony of marches and camping. But it was in 2002 that I had the chance to return in more style, staying up at Ligger House at the top of the hill.
I was organising an away weekend for the employees of a company I worked for. It was one of the most memorable weeks in my life, organising the mass catering with my girlfriend and girls from the company. With the help of Penhale's now retired camp Commander, Barry, we organised surfing, clay pigeon shooting, rifle shooting, abseilling and a disco on the headland with Diddy David Hamilton.

Bolingey
I lived in Bolingey as a child, until 1959, and this picture has strong memories for me. My family had a cottage somewhere to the front and right of the chapel on the hill. The location was called "Crow Hill" and I think the cottages may still be there today. For some reason I was afraid of the large forbidding Methodist chapel!
Years later I used to visit the Bolingey Inn and I'm glad to see that it is still there now. Haven't been there for 30 years though.
Crow Hill, Bolingey
I have so many warm memories of Bolingey and Perranporth. My aunt owned & lived at 1 Crow Hill for MANY years, and my mother and grandfather for some years prior. I visited there yearly from babyhood through my teens.
Last time I visited was 1988, and the 4 cottages were still there. A few years ago No.2 (I think) was sold for about 250 pounds; they'd added a bathroom - which none of the original cottages had.
