Cornish Arms Hotel St Blazey New Added 2 days ago
I have found from doing family history that my great grandfather George James Andrews died at the Cornish Arms Hotel on 25 Dec 1919. If anyone has any info about the hotel at that time I would love to see it ,or hear from any relatives of the Andrews family. Posted: 18/08/2008 12:39 |

Gran and Granddad
Granddad helped to build Landreath Place, mum and her family moved into number 55, where both grandparents lived till they died. Also there was other family living in this street, my great grandfather John Renowden, my great Aunt Elsie Renowden, great Uncle Les great Aunty Gladys, great uncle Sid Bishop. all sadly passed away.Landreath today looks almost the same except the speed humps, miss the little sweet shop, loved the smell when we used to go in. And the chip shop was out of this world, remember gran sending me down to buy a bowl full of chips for our tea. Top of Landreath used to be a farm (Now all houses) was a short cut to Spit beach, right next to Par. So many happy memories of St Blazey, always feel like I have come home, my sister now lives in this street now. Posted: 10/08/2008 18:42 by Dianne Lawrence |

The Cinema
Tha Palace Cinema in St Blazey was one of the longest operating cinemas in England. I worked there as the usherette during the middle to late 60s (I believe it is now closed). We had films three times a week and bingo twice a week - there was a Saturday morning children's cartoon show. I did everything from selling tickets to urshering and during the interval selling chocolates, drinks and ice cream. I have always been an avid cinema fan and as I saw everything that was presented at the Palace I was able to endulge my viewing and get paid for it! I lived at the top of Rose Hill and would walk home after the show without any worries for my safety. Our local pub was the Cornish Arms and it was run at that time By Ross Edwards and his wife. many a happy hour was spen there. My father painted and some of his paintings hung on the walls - I donated my collection of American banners and they were hung on the walls of the lounge bar.

Families of St Blazey in the 40s/50s.
My father was one of the local butchers, Jack Grigg. He and my mother ran the shop opposite the church. My grandfather was John Charles Grigg who lived at a house called Mount View at the bottom of Rose Hill. When my father was born he was living at no. 9 Station Road. My greatgrandfather, Charles Rogers Grigg lived at Canal Cottages between the canal and Bailey's corn store. My great-great grandfather was John Grigg from up around Antony/St Germans who came to St Blazey to work at either Fowey or Par Consols mine somewhere around 1830. He married Ann Rogers from Par and they had 10 children, my greatgrandfather being the youngest. When I went to St Blazey boys school in the late 50s lots of the boys came from the fairly new Landreath estate. Several large families there, fine people, hardworking, honest folk. In those days in addition to the church, the town had two Methodist chapels, one in Station Road and one at Chapel Terrace. Let me put down some family names from the St Blazey of that era, with apologies to the ones I forget. Allen, Oke, Grainger, Studley, Brown, Clemo, Hobba, Kirwan, Simler, Collings, Davies, Phillips, Soady, Husband, Rickard, Parker, Stead, Richardson, Billing, Hooper, Williams, Stephens, Hoskins, Carne, Macpherson, Rowe, Green, Hagelstein, Giece, Rideout, Bowden, Burley, Hooper, Crocker, Holland, Pearce, Gilbert, Stead.
