More about this scene

This, the most westerly town in England, has been raided down the centuries by Spanish ships and by pirates. Commanding the broad sweep of Mount's Bay, Penzance grew prosperous both as a stannary town and fishing port. In this street is a statue to Penzance's most famous son, Humphry Davy.

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.
