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.
Memories of Cornwall
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
Cairn Gloose
The Cairn is one of the most popular places to visit in this area
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.
