Holidays With Owners Ruth And Norman Jeffries
We stayed as a family at the Crown Inn many times. We loved the pub and the village and local people. Hope to re-visit. I believe that Ruth lives next door. Last edited: 09/08/2006 15:35 by Vic Andrews |

 Pentewan, the Square from East c1955 (ref: P37029) |
Year: 1940s
She Sent Us Primroses A memory of Pentewan, Cornwall In the centre of the picture, the smaller house I believe is 'Cosy Cot' where my aunt Phyllis and cousin Peter spent WW2 and experienced the death of my Uncle Alf in the RAF in 1940. I remember that fragrant parcels used to arrive in the spring, wrapped in greaseproof paper and damp newspaper. They were the primroses and violets that Phyllis picked and sent to us "townies" who lived near London. She had experienced great sorrow in her life, yet she thought of others. My cousin Peter was very ill with what I believe was Lupus, but he was a sweet natured boy - I did not meet him as an adult. He finally died of his problems when he was only 37 - two years more than his father had been when he died. One day I will visit the cottage again and renew my memories of this lovely village and its friendly people. I understand that despite its picturesque appearance "Cosy Cot" was anything but cosy in the winter when, because it is built into the cliff behind, the back wall ran with condensation, but no word of complaint was heard from Phyllis. I also understand that it is now a holiday cottage and I am sure it now lives up to its name far more than it did when it was home to my aunt and cousin.

 Mevagissey, The Old Men's Parliament c1955 (ref: M68139) |
Where Is This Building? A memory of Mevagissey, Cornwall 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?

 Mevagissey, Fore Street 1890 (ref: 27558) |
Year: 1965
My Mevagissey A memory of Mevagissey, Cornwall 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.
