A great place to grow up in the fifties, lived at 33 Adelaide street. I now live in Australia. I often wonder if any of my old school mates are still kicking.
i am from penzance i moved to wiltshire but i still go down to visit i miss penzance and the good old days, the music makes me home sick love all you films you have done thank you
I'm sad to say it's changed even more. With so many of our familiar shops gone due to the economy. It's nice to see Penzance from 2000 but it's also making me realise that time has gone so fast.
I had recently moved from (near) Penzance to (just outside) Helston when this was filmed. All I can we js... you missed the smuggler hiding in the Benbow's roof!
Bleddy 'ell what a bunch of moaning minnies on 'ere. RIP Jack and thanks for this. Penzance is still a great town. You can go into town know and it is rammed with people. The high street while it has had some decline is still fairing far better than the UK as a whole.
I absolutely love everything about Cornwall, but please penzance put loads of colour into your town. Everything looks really drab and grey, even the clothes people are wearing look dark & sombre. Cornwall and the cornish people are bright happy colourful. Love you to bits.
I still pop into the town to Ava look around not busy these days bleedy Covid , the government needs to spend some money in kernow , best county around .
Visited Penzance in 2006 my mother's ancestors on her mother's side came from Paul only had a few days but went down to lands end and to West of England Steam Rally at St.Agnes enjoyed Cornwell. I live in NZ.
@@clover182Harry Your website is great! My brother would have loved it. He was one of the first punk rockers in Redruth. We played The Sex Pistols at his funeral earlier this year.
2000 was start of a end to Penzance, see so many shops no longer there. Really sad to what has become of our home town. What sad is with current council penzance never return to her former glory. stop the landscaping, closing down parks, only wonder what will become of our hometown in the future as not threaten to try close jubilee pool again.
I was living in St Clare Street (before moving to Newlyn) when this was filmed, but I'm not in any of the footage. It was around this time when the army got a Land Rover stuck in the harbour-sand for some reason. The locals all told them not to drive down there but they were ignored, and then stood around in amusement and bemusement and watched the army race the incoming tide to get the thing out again - which they only just achieved - but it was tight!
