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.

Extracts From Crowlas & Cornwall books
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.
An extract from from"St Ives Photographic Memories".
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.

This view shows Lake’s Art and Literature Shop on the left and part of the main Post Office on the right. Tregenna Place and its continuation of the High Street are still the main thoroughfares into the harbour area of St Ives.

This narrow St Ives street got its name from a rabbit warren once situated there. The street was also used at one time as a convenient ‘rope walk’ where ropes were made for the fishing industry.
