St Buryan, a Cross 1890 (ref: 27745)
Year: 1997 Great/G Grandmother Mary Maddern
My G/G Granmother's parents were married in the St Buryan Church on 31st Oct 1814, they were Richard Maddern & Mary Bennetts. I visited the area in 1997 and found it beautiful. I live in Rutherglen Aust. The old Madderns came to Australia with their children and are buried in Ballarat Cemetery. 2 of their sons were sadly killed in a mining accident in Ballarat. My G/G Grandmother Mary Maddern married Martin Edwards Trezise in St Just and migrated to Australia. Mary Maddern was also born in St Buryan. From Gillian Pitcher, Australia

St Just, Bank Square c1950 (ref: S255054)
Year: 1940s Happy evacuee
This photo is of Bank Square, I was evacuated here in 1939 with brother Bob and was placed with the butcher at No16, that is it on right with white facia,
Butcher was Harold Stephens, and his wife and daughter Kathleen.
I still recall the fat pig in the window, holding a tray, and the shiny wall tiles.
The right door post had a mark left on it from debris thrown up when bombs fell just south of town.
We moved down to Boscean after a short time.
Those were some of the happiest days of my life, such kind people.
The big white house in centre was occupied by another member of the family whose son was a sailor, came on leave with a monkey which tore all the curtains.
