Kenwyn

A Memory of Mawgan Porth.

The house was called Kenwyn. It was built by my uncle Bert Force for my mother Winifred Carthew. I lived there from 1946-1958.
We had a two bedroom bungalow in the back garden & every summer the family would move into the bungalow & Kenwyn would turn into a very upmarket guest house for the summer. There were five bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom. Downstairs there were two other bedrooms a bathroom, toilet, a huge dining room, a blue room with an open fire with another lounge opposite which also had an open fire. There was a family room with a walk in pantry & a coal cupboard a kitchen with a separate skullery. My mother ran the guest house very well. I have very happy childhood memories of that house. I always tell people that I grew up in paradise.
