Extracts From Marazion & Cornwall books

St Ives, the Tregenna Castle Hotel 1907

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.

St Ives, the Putting Green c1960

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.

St Ives, the Parish Church c1955

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.

St Ives, Tregenna Place c1955

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.

St Ives, the Warren c1955

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.
