Shared Memories of Mevagissey
 Mevagissey, The Old Men's Parliament c1955 (ref: M68139) |
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?

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.
