Cornwall memories
Born,Lived at Trewellard Cliff
My family lived in a tied cottage at Trewellard Cliff, the farm was owned by the Rowe family at St Just. We lived there until my father died in 1963 (Sept) then moved to Pendeen, I was 12 by then and attended school at St Just CCSS, worked at the foundry at Tregaseal, Holmals shipyard Penzance then joined the Army in 1968, that's another story.
The Fish Shop
The fish shop shown on the right belonged to Mr Phillip Tregurtha.
PENZANCE MARKET JEW STREET
As a boy I must have walked up and down Market Jew Street hundreds of times.
In particular I along with friends would visit the local Woolworth's where we liked to partake of various flavoured "Milk Shakes" Later during our teens a special treat was to go upstairs at Liptons where we would indulge in a cup of tea (we felt very grown up) then look down on local girls passing by.
Despite the war we were a happy band and made the most of the circumstances at that time.
Birthday Treat
My mum used to take me to Rhere for a Birthday Picnic every March 28th , when I was a small boy , so either the weather has changed or I'm as hardy as a Gypsy!
Sight to Gladden The Heart
Cape Cornwall and surrounds gladdens my heart whenever I am able to visit. From the first time of seeing I have loved this particular view. We spent many happy months in this area during the 1990's and I hope to return again one day, from this distant land of Australia.
Wartime
Many memories of playing at Priest Cove swimming pool and bent pin fishing as a 6 year old evacuee.
I must have explored every nook and cranny around the headland
Bank Square
As a 6 year old I was deposited with the Stevens family -Butchers at No 16-- this is on the right of the street opposite the white building
