Nostalgic memories of Rosudgeon's local history

Share your own memories of Rosudgeon and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

None of these pics are Rosudgeon, all Prussia Cove, original name was Trennels Farm which is about the first house you come to
beyond is Cudden Point proper, here is the "Oratory" and a plaque with the inscription "WE HAVE A BVILDING OF GOD, AN HOVSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE, LORD IS THERE IS LIBERTY" In front is Pisky Cove
Looking from Prussia Cove (Prussia Cove is the area, not an actual cove) towards Kennegy. Tin mine workings exposed on beach and on cliffs above. Kerrier DC (it's just on the border of Kerrier and Penwith DCs) have replaced the rope we abseiled down with stainless steel steps and ladder, but it's no easier to get down! That was 2008, since then they've had to remove ladder (health & safety!) so access to sandy beach is only by climbing over rocks, not possible at high tide!
Porthenalls on left, Lutyens-like house built early 1900s by family, butler/houseman's house on right, all holiday lets now. See Prussia Cove web site
called Bessy's Cove by the Carters, is there a story about Bessy saving one of their children?
Built 1900s, now holiday lets or (big) weddings. The island is Enys (which is Cornish for island!).
Built right on the smuggling cove to stop the smugglers, they predate nearby Porthenalls which was only built c1900, bought by the T_B estate in the 1980s(?), now holiday lets.
