Penzance, Cornwall
Penzance, or Pensans to give it its Cornish name, is a major Cornish town located at the start of the Penwith peninsula and beside the coast. Penzance is located next to Newlyn, one of the largest fishing ports in Britain.
Penzance is located in Mount's Bay, a large bay between the Penwith and Lizard peninsulas. It is the first and last train stop in the UK and the last major town.
The town was granted a number of royal charters from 1512, however the town was incorporated on 9th May 1614. In the 2011 census, Penzance had a population of 21,200.
The name Penzance derives from its Cornish name, Pensans, which means 'holy headland'. There was once a chapel here, dedicated to St Anthony, around where Penzance Harbour now is however that chapel has been long gone.
The first recording of inhabitants in Penzance is during the Bronze Age, approximately 3,000 years ago, and a number of Bronze Age artefacts have been found in the town, especially in the Alverton area. During the Iron Age, an iron age round called Lescudjack Castle was built. This is located at the end of a housing estate and, although partly destroyed, it is still very much visible as an Iron Age round.
One of Penzance's most famous children is Sir Humphry Davy, the inventor of the miners safety lamp and Nitrous Oxide, which he named 'Laughing Gas' after it made him laugh when experimenting with it. He also isolated for the first time ever the elements of Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, Magnesium, Boron and discovering the elemental nature of Chlorine and Iodine, which shaped Science forever.
Penzance's town centre consists mainly on six streets. These six streets are Market Jew Street, The Greenmarket, Causewayhead, Alverton Street, Chapel Street and Wharf Road. There is also a shopping centre here called Wharfside Shopping Centre which is used to get from the car park by Penzance Harbour to the town centre.
Penzance is made up of two parishes, St Mary's and St John's, with the majority of the town being part of St Mary's parish, which is associated with St Mary's Church, the largest church.
Penzance has one beach, Wherrytown Beach, which is a rocky beach situated between the town and Newlyn. There is also another beach which comes at low tide by Battery Rocks, however this is very stony.
Penzance is one of Cornwall's largest towns and is approximately 2 miles long by 1.4 miles wide.

Penzance is a town, civil parish and port in Cornwall, in England, United Kingdom. Penzance is the most westerly major town in Cornwall and is about 75 miles west of Plymouth and 300 miles west-southwest of London. Situated in the shelter of Mount's Bay, the town of Penzance faces south-east onto the English Channel, is bordered to the west by the fishing port of Newlyn, to the north by the civil parish of Madron and to the east by the civil parish of Ludgvan. The civil parish includes the town of Newlyn and the villages of Mousehole, Paul, Gulval and Heamoor.
The A30 from London to Land’s End is a trunk road as far as the Chy-an-Mor roundabout, a mile (1.6 km) to the east of Penzance. After bypassing Penzance to the north the road continues to Land’s End mainly as a rural A route. The distance from Penzance to London is 275 miles (443 km) or about 5 hours by car. Penzance railway station is at the eastern end of Market Jew Street and close to the harbour. It is the southernmost station on the UK mainland rail network. It is the western terminus of the Cornish Main Line which runs above the beach to Marazion, affording passengers good views of St. Michael's Mount and Mount's Bay. A ferry service operates between Penzance Harbour and the Isles of Scilly. The Scillonian III, carries both foot-passengers and cargo. Sailing time is about 2 hours and 40 minutes. For 49 years, Penzance Heliport had a helicopter route to the Isles of Scilly run by British International.
Large sections of Penzance are classified as ″conservation areas″ under the Penwith local plan and are subject to special planning laws. The current conservation area forms most of the core of the town of Penzance and the historic harbour areas of Newlyn and Mousehole. Penzance's former main street Chapel Street has a number of interesting features, including the Egyptian House, the Union Hotel (including a Georgian theatre which is no longer in use) and Branwell House, where the mother and aunt of the famous Brontë sisters once lived.
Also of interest is the seafront with its promenade and the open-air seawater Jubilee Bathing Pool (one of the oldest surviving Art Deco swimming baths in the country), built during Penzance's heyday as a fashionable seaside resort. Penzance promenade has been destroyed in parts several times by storms. The most recent example was on 7 March 1962 (Ash Wednesday), when large parts of the western end of the promenade, the nearby Bedford Bolitho Gardens (now a play park) and the village of Wherrytown suffered severe damage.

Penzance Cornwall - July 2016
Penzance (/pɛnˈzæns/; Cornish: Pennsans) is a town, civil parish and port in Cornwall, in England, United Kingdom. It is well known for being the most westerly major town in Cornwall[2] and is approximately 75 miles (121 km) west of Plymouth and 300 miles (480 km) west-southwest of London. Situated in the shelter of Mount's Bay, the town faces south-east onto the English Channel, is bordered to the west by the fishing port of Newlyn, to the north by the civil parish of Madron and to the east by the civil parish of Ludgvan.
The civil parish includes the town of Newlyn and the villages of Mousehole, Paul, Gulval and Heamoor.
Granted various royal charters from 1512 onwards and incorporated in 1614, it has a population of 21,200 (2011 census).
Etymology
Penzance has the same name with the same etymology as a homonymic village of Léon (Brittany), on the other side of the Channel, Penzé (fr), pronounced Penzes in Breton. It refers to a word meaning in old Breton, essentially the same language as old Cornish, wrecking.
Toponymy
Penzance (Pennsans), or holy headland in the Cornish language, is a reference to the location of a chapel nowadays called St Anthony's that is said to have stood over a thousand years ago on the headland to the west of what became Penzance Harbour. There are no early documents mentioning an actual dedication to St Anthony which seems to depend entirely on tradition and may be groundless.
History
Prehistory to Early Medieval period
Approximately 400 prehistoric stone axes, known as Group 1 axes and made from greenstone, have been found all over Britain, which from petrological analysis appear to come from west Cornwall. Although the quarry has not been identified, it has been suggested that the Gear, a rock now submerged half a mile from the shore at Penzance, may be the site.

Our visit Inside St Michael's Mount, Penzance CORNWALL
Join us as we explore St Michael's Mount, a castle perched on a granite island, just off the Cornish coast near Penzance. The Mount is approached by a granite causeway that is covered for part of the day by the sea.
We use a 1920s tourist guide by Wardlock and Co. to guide us around the castle. St Michaels' Mount is surrounded by not only sea but myth and legend - our guide mentions a skeleton behind a hidden door in the chapel!
