I Lived At St Miniver
I was born in Pityme near St Minver in 1941. My mother was Annie Kinsman. We lived at Rose Cottage, Pityme. I went to St Mniver CP School. My gran was Mrs Bessie Worden, my grandad was the school caretaker. I think my relative dug graves at St Miniver churchyard. I remember the Dingle garage near Rock, and the pond near the village centre, and the saw mills. I went to school with David and Philip Buse, Shirley Wills. I live with my partner Anne. If any one wants contact they are most welcome, my address is johnkinsmanmarine@yahoo.co.uk. I now live in Scotland, and have worked as news reporter for the past 30 years. Thank you. Donald Kinsman.

Growing Up (miss Patricia May)
This is another place I rememeber well when I was growing up. My auntie and uncle lived in the village of St Minver, they were called Mr and Mrs worden. My uncle was Ern Worden and he used to dig the the graves, and my Auntie was Pru Worden. They had one daughter called Marion May. She left home in the late 60s.

Porthily Beach A memory of Rock, Cornwall Myself and my 3 sisters Ginine, Chantelle and Michaela all used to go down to the Porthily Beach regularly with our mum and dad. We have wonderful memories there. Our dad brought home a tractor inner tube from a tyre and pumped it up for us and we played for hours on it. Porthily is very safe, it doesn't get too deep when the tide is in. Nowadays myself and my sisters all go down to the beach with our children. We are creating the same memories for our children to remember when they get older. A very happy childhood. Lisa (Wilce) |

 Polzeath, the Sands c1960 (ref: P70213) |
Year: 1943
Polzeath In The Second World War. A memory of Polzeath, Cornwall New Added 5 days ago We lived at "Caradon" during the Second World War. I was young when we moved there and we left soon after the war ended. I remember Dr Thames' pre-school, and the nursery school on the Terrace in New Polzeath - and their big rocking horse that I always wanted to ride, and also Holiday House, where I started when I was five. Mr Edwards was the headmaster, and his daughter Jill started school the same time that I did. I remember the kids dividing into teams and building rival sand castles during lunch recess, and then each "team" attacking the other team's castle when it was time to head back to school Other memories:- Mr Couch's grocery store - his son Francis was about my age. The Barnardo homes just below my house on the hill, and the way they used to yell at me when I went past - I was scared of them. The Brownie troop. Mr Baine's farm behind us, and how mad my mum used to get when his sheep broke into our garden and ate the cabbages! Shilla Mill and the little stream and bridge where we used to play "pooh sticks" and collect frogspawn to watch the eggs turn into tadpoles and the tadpoles into frogs. The other farm up the hill away from Trebetherick, and the daughter who injured her back going under a tractor to try to rescue a mouse. The times the water used to run out and we had to go down the hill to the spring in the cliffs on the beach and carry water back up the hill, each of us with a container as big as we could carry. All a long, long time ago. It bothers me to read on the internet of the young kids calling it "Polzie" and referring it just as a place to go to get drunk at weekends.

Polzeath, the Sands c1960 (ref: P70213) |
Happy Days A memory of Polzeath, Cornwall My uncle 'discovered' Polzeath in the 1930s ,it must have been wonderful to come across such a lovely place after London. My parents went there during the war, I imagine it was a real haven for them in those turbulent times. I have visited there now for over 50 years, though now I always go out of season as it is too popular now in the summer holidays. I have great memories of spending every summer there, we usually stayed in a variety of odd little houses and caravans but all wonderful! I don't much like the way Polzeath has evolved over the last 15 years, especially in the village, but the beach, cliffs and sea are still magnificent and unchanging.
