One of the last fairs on Penzance quayside probably as part of the St John's Eve and St Peter's Eve midsummer celebrations now known as 'Golowan' in Penzance. This is a poor copy of the photo STRT 8.007 held elsewhere in our collections.
Quarry cottage situated below the Mousehole Road. Just above the seaplane base on the foreshore below. South Pier and lighthouse.
Sailing vessels believed to be French fishing boats anchored in Gwavas lake.
From Wikipedia: Penzance station was opened in 1852, but had major redevelopment in 1876. The new rock-faced granite building was designed by William Lancaster Owen.
